The resultant solution was adjusted to pH 4.0 with 4 N sodium hydroxide and concentrated to 100 ml. of the volume. After adjusting the solution to pH 4.0, the solution was allowed to stand under cooling overnight. The precipitates were collected by filtration to give 7-amino-3-methylenecepham-4-carboxylic acid (11.96 g.).
