    Abstract

    Sodium pivaloyloxymethyl (pivaloyloxymethoxycarbonyl)phosphonate 4, sodium 4-acyloxybenzyl phenoxycarbonylphosphonates 14a-c and sodium 4-acyloxybenzyl benzyloxycarbonylphosphonates 15a,b have been prepared as bioreversible prodrugs of the antiviral phosphonoformate 1. Their hydrolyses, in vivo systemic bioavailability and antiviral activity are reported. Of the compounds evaluated 4 was the best prodrug.
