The effect of substituents at the C-3 position on the degradation kinetics of the pivaloyloxymethyl (POM) ester of Δ<SUP>3</SUP> cephalosporin in phosphate buffer solution (pH6-8) was investigated. In the degradation, the isomerization process to the Δ<SUP>2</SUP> ester was the rate-determining step. In this study, the logarithm of the isomerization rate to the Δ<SUP>2</SUP> ester (log k<SUB>12</SUB>) correlated with the carbon-13 unclear magnetic resonance chemical shift difference value at C-3 and C-4 of the Δ<SUP>3</SUP> ester (Δδ(4-3)). The energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the Δ<SUP>3</SUP> esters also correlated with log k<SUB>12</SUB>. The electronic properties at the C-2 position had no effect on the isomerization reaction. On the other hand, the logarithm of the isomerization rate back to the Δ<SUP>3</SUP> ester (log k<SUB>21</SUB>) correlated with the van der Waals volume (MV) of the 3-substituent. These results show that the substituent at the C-3 position influences mainly the electronic structure of the conjugated π-bond system (C<SUB>3</SUB>=C<SUB>4</SUB>-C<SUB>4</SUB>=O) and consequently affects the feasibility of isomerization to the Δ<SUP>2</SUP> ester, i.e., the stability to degradation.
