General description
Pivalic acid is a carboxylic acid, employed as a ligand to synthesize cerium(IV) hexanuclear clusters.
Application
Pivalic acid can be employed:
- As a co-catalyst with palladium for the arylation of unactivated arenes and N-heterocycles.
- As an additive to facilitate the carbonylative suzuki reactions to synthesize biaryl ketones from aryl iodides and arylboronic acids by using palladium nanoparticles as catalyst.
- In the cyclization reaction of benzamides with alkynes to synthesize isoquinolones in the presence of 8-aminoquinoline ligand and cobalt catalyst.

A palladium-pivalic acid cocatalyst system has been developed that exhibits unprecedented reactivity in direct arylation. This reactivity is illustrated with the first examples of high yielding direct metalation-arylation reactions of a completely unactivated arene, benzene. Experimental and computational evidence indicates

Patients ingesting pivalic acid containing prodrugs develop hypocarnitinemia. Pivalic acid is cleaved from such drugs and excreted renally as pivaloylcarnitine.
