Abstract: Disclosed is a method for synthesizing 1-(acyloxy)-alkyl derivatives of primary or secondary amine drugs from 1-acyl-alkyl derivatives of primary or secondary amine drugs, which typically proceeds stereospecifically, in high yield, does not require the use of activated intermediates and/or toxic compounds and is readily amenable to scale-up. For example, 1-acyl-alkyl derivatives of gabapentin and pregabalin are oxidized to yield 1-(acyloxy)-alkyl derivatives of gabapentin and pregabalin, respectively.

Abstract: The disclosures herein relate generally to acyloxyalkyl carbamate prodrugs of (±)-4-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)butanoic acid and analogs thereof, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods of making prodrugs of (±)-4-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)butanoic acid and analogs thereof, methods of using prodrugs of (±)-4-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)butanoic acid and analogs thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof for treating or preventing common diseases and/or disorders such as spasticity and/or acid reflux disease.
