Description

Isobutyric anhydride is a crystalline cellulose-derived chemical that is used as a solvent in pharmaceutical preparations. It is also used as a reactive agent in the production of antibiotics. Isobutyric anhydride reacts with the hydroxyl group on the antibiotic to form an ester, which in turn reacts with trifluoroacetic acid to form the final product. The mechanism of this reaction is kinetic and hydrochloric acid can be used as a catalyst. Isobutyric anhydride has been shown to have high reactivity with antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. This compound has high bioavailability when administered orally and exhibits high kinetic constants for both hydrolysis and esterification reactions, making it a useful drug for preventing bacterial growth in vivo.
