Reaction of 6- or 7-diazo-.beta.-lactams with allylic halides in the presence of a catalytic amount of metallic copper or a copper salt affords 6- or 7-carbon-substituted-.beta.-lactams with the desired stereochemical configuration at the 6- or 7-position. Subsequent reduction with a trialkyl stannane affords useful intermediates for further syntheses affording 6- or 7-carbon-substituted-.beta.-lactams. The present invention relates to a process for the production of 6- or 7-carbon-substituted-.beta.-lactams having the desired stereochemical configuration at the 6- or 7-position. More particularly, this invention provides a process for the preparation of a .beta.-lactam of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is cyano or COOR.sub.2 wherein R.sub.2 is a readily removable ester-forming moiety, hydrogen or an alkali-metal cation; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl or aralkyl; Z is a group of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sub.5 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or aralkyl; and the dotted line indicates the optional presence of a double bond; which comprises (1) reacting a diazo-.beta.-lactam of the formula ##STR3## wherein Y is a sulfur or an oxygenated sulfur atom and Z, R.sub.1, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are as hereinbefore defined; with an allyl halide of the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are as hereinbefore defined and X is bromo or iodo; in the presence of a catalytic amount of metallic copper or a copper salt; and where Y is an oxygenated sulfur atom, followed by transformation of the resultant oxygenated sulfur intermediate to a compound wherein Y is a sulfur atom; and (2) subjecting the resultant intermediate of the formula ##STR5## wherein X, Z, R.sub.1, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 are as hereinabove defined, to reduction with a trialkyl stannane to afford the compound of formula I. The lower alkyl groups referred to contain 1 to 6 carbon atoms and are exemplified by methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl and the corresponding branched-chain isomers thereof. The lower alkoxy groups referred to above likewise contain 1 to 6 carbon atoms and are exemplified by methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, and the like. The term "aryl" as used herein refers to phenyl substituted by one or more substituent groups selected from among chloro, bromo, fluoro, lower alkyl, hydroxy, nitro, amino, aminomethyl, lower monoalkylamino, lower dialkylamino, lower alkoxy and carboxy. Such aryl groups represented by R.sub.1 can be, for example, 4-hydroxyphenyl, 3,4-dichlorophenyl, 2,6-dimethoxyphenyl, 4-methylphenyl, 2-fluorophenyl, 4-carboxyphenyl, 3-nitrophenyl, 4-aminophenyl, 3-aminophenyl, 4-dimethylaminophenyl, 4-aminomethylphenyl and 4-ethoxyphenyl. The term "aralkyl" encompasses aryl-substituted lower alkyl groups such as benzyl, phenethyl, p-fluorobenzyl, o-tolylethyl and m-hydroxy-phenethyl. The process of this invention initially involves the reaction of a diazo-.beta.-lactam of formula II and the allyl halide of formula III in the presence of a catalytic amount of metallic copper or a copper salt to induce the decomposition of the diazo-.beta.-lactam at temperatures of about 0.degree.-50.degree. C. to provide the intermediate of formula IV. The diazo-.beta.-lactam utilizable in this step of the invention may be any type of readily removable ester-blocked acid, i.e., the compound of formula II wherein R.sub.1 is COOR.sub.2 or a nitrile, i.e., the compound of formula II wherein R.sub.1 is cyano. Preferably, benzyl or benzhydryl esters are employed in the reaction wherein R.sub.1 is COOR.sub.2. The starting materials of formula II wherein Y is oxygenated sulfur are preferred due to the stability of the starting compound. However, the reaction using the equivalent sulfide also proceeds with good yields and avoids the need for a subsequent deoxygenation step. The allyl halides of formula III utilizable in the present invention are those wherein the halogen is iodine or bromine with iodine being most particularly preferred. The allyl halide of formula III may be substituted by lower alkyl, aryl or aralkyl groups. Those compounds wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are methyl or phenyl are preferred. The copper compound utilizable as a catalyst for this step of the instant invention may be almost any copper salt or finely divided elemental copper. Preferably, 1-10 mole percent of the copper or copper salt is utilized. The most preferred catalysts are cuprous chloride and copper (II)-2,4-pentanedioate. In order to maximize the yield for this step of the instant invention, it is preferable to use a large excess of the allyl halide of formula III. Most preferably, allyl bromide or allyl iodide is used as the reaction medium. Substituted allyl halides of formula III are preferably diluted with a non-polar co-solvent such as methylene chloride. Polar solvents may also be used, e.g., dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide or acetonitrile, but these provide poorer yields. The reaction is preferably carried out at room temperature; however, depending on the nature of the starting materials, the reaction temperatures may range from about 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. Occasionally, warming to about 40.degree. C. is utilized to initiate the reaction which is then continued without further heating. The stereochemistry at C-6 or C-7 of the intermediate of formula IV is generally a mixture of alpha and beta compounds. Generally, use of the bromides gives a higher ratio of beta to alpha compounds, i.e., 5 to 6:1. Use of the iodides gives more approximately equal amounts of the alpha and beta isomers. The reduction of step 2 to afford the cis product of formula I is accomplished using trialkyl stannane (trialkyl tin hydride). Preferably, tri-n-butyl stannane is utilized. The intermediate of formula IV is heated at about 60.degree.-100.degree. C. with 1-2 equivalents of the tin hydride in an inert solvent. Preferred solvents are tetrahydrofuran, benzene and toluene. Typically, the product is separated by chromatography in yields of greater than 80%. The compounds of formula II wherein Y is an oxygenated sulfur atom may be obtained from the corresponding compounds wherein Y is sulfur by any of the conventional oxidation procedures, e.g., ozone, iodobenzene dichloride in aqueous pyridine, etc. An oxygenated sulfur penicillin compound, i.e., wherein Z is ##STR6## may then be converted to the corresponding cephalosporin, i.e., wherein Y is S and Z is ##STR7## by various literature methods. See, for instance, Flynn, "Cephalosporins and Penicillins", Academic Press, pp. 193-199 and 670-673 (1972). By such methods benzyl 6.beta.-allyl-6.alpha.-bromopenicillanate-1.beta.-oxide may be converted to benzyl 7.beta.-allyl-6.alpha.-bromo-3-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate. The sulfoxide compound is also particularly useful wherein it is desired to convert a mixture of 2- and 3-cephem compounds to a pure 3-cephem compound. The 6- or 7-diazo starting materials of formula II are preparable via a variety of literature methods or variations thereof. A preferred method involves degradation of the penicillin or cephalosporin side chain via the N-nitroso derivative as described by Hausler and Sigg, Helv. Chim. Acta., 1327 (1967); and Sheehan, J. Org. Chem., 39, 1444 (1974). This process involves treatment of the penicillin or cephalosporin, e.g., benzylpenicillin benzyl ester or benzhydryl ester, to form the N-nitroso derivative, followed by decomposition of the nitroso amide side chain with methylene chloride-pyridine or methylene chloride at about 40.degree. C. to afford the diazo compound. An improvement of this process, omitting the pyridine and allowing the reaction to proceed at room temperature in a polar solvent, e.g., di
