A two-step tandem reaction to prepare hydroxamic acids directly from alcohols

Org Biomol Chem. 2014 Jul 14;12(26):4582-5. doi: 10.1039/c4ob00693c.

Abstract

The first synthesis of hydroxamic acids from alcohols has been developed. Both benzylic and aliphatic alcohols can be tolerated and applied in this reaction. The methodology is economical, environmentally benign and high yielding.
