The object of the invention is to provide a .beta.-lactam compound and a 2-substituted methyl-3-cephem compound, both of which are of value as intermediates for the synthesis of cephem antibiotics. The .beta.-lactam compound of the invention may be represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a protected amino group, for instance; R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, for instance; R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or a carboxy-protecting group; R.sup.4 represents an aryl group which may be substituted; R.sup.5 represents an alkenyl group which may be substituted, for instance. The 2-substituted methyl-3-cephem compound of the invention may be represented by the general formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined above; R.sup.6 represents an aryl group which may be substituted.
A .beta.-lactam compound of the formula ##STR16## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an amino group or a protected amino group;
