A process for preparing semi-synthetic penicillin antibiotics, especially ampicillin, is disclosed which comprises acylating a silylated 6-aminopenicillanic acid in the presence of primary or secondary carboxamide bases as hydrogen halide acceptors. The products may be obtained in good yield and high purity and the amount of toxic contaminants in the products is significantly reduced, thus substantially eliminating unpleasant side-effects.
