Stille coupling methodology is used to stereospecifically synthesize 7-[(E)-alkylidene]cephalosporins, potential enzyme inhibitors which are unavailable via other synthetic methodology. Two procedures are described, utilizing either a stannylalkylidene cephem which is then coupled with an organohalide, or a haloalkylidene cephem which is coupled with an organostannane.
