Application

Valeric anhydride can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • Alkyl 9-nitrocamptothecin esters by the esterification reaction.
  • Modified bismuth metal-organic frameworks (Bi-MOFs).
  • O-acylated chitosan nanofibers (CSNFs) for potential usage in biomaterials and food packaging.

To study the structure-activity relationship of alkyl 9-nitrocamptothecin esters. Two alkyl 9-nitrocamptothecin (9NC) esters 5g and 5h were prepared by esterification reactions of 9NC with valeric anhydride and heptanoic anhydride, respectively. Eight 9NC esters 5a-5h were tested for cytotoxicity against
