Application

Chloromethyl pivalate was used in the synthesis of pivaloyloxy methyl ester of ofloxacin as prodrug. It was used as the reagent during the synthesis of an isoindoline-annulated, tricyclic sultam library via microwave-assisted, continuous-flow organic synthesis.

General description

Chloromethyl pivalate reacts with sodium salt of sulbactam to yield sulbactam pivoxil. It undergoes acylation reaction with 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA) to yield bis(pivaloyloxymethyl) PMEA.

9-(2-Phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA; 1) was acylated with chloromethyl pivalate to afford bis(pivaloyloxymethyl) PMEA (2). The ester prodrug demonstrated enhanced in vitro potency against HSV-2 greater than 150-fold higher than the parent compound. The antiviral activity of 2 was 50-fold better than
