Kh. Glusenkamp et al., RAPID HYDROLYSIS OF AMIDES UNDER PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS - INFLUENCEOF THE MICROENVIRONMENT ON THE STABILITY OF AMIDE BOND, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(3), 1998, pp. 285-288
A new class of bicyclic carboxyamides 1a-9a differing with respect to
substitution patterns and exo-endo geometry has been synthesized. Thes
e amides are characterized by a structure-dependent unusual rapid hydr
olysis rate at physiological conditions. The corresponding bicyclic an
hydrides might be used as tools for masking and modifiying therapeutic
agents containing amine functionalities. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Lt
