Hydroxylamines and hydroxamic acids are polyfunctional organic molecules and several reactive intermediates can be generated from them, therefore they have found broad application in the synthesis of various nitrogen and oxygen containing heterocycles by means of nulceophilic substitution or addition, electrophilic intramolecular aromatic substitution, as well as [2+4] and [3+2] cycloaddition reactions. This chapter surveys synthesis of heterocycles from the title compounds highlighting some distinguished reaction mechanism aspects, regio‐ and stereo selectivity issues and experimental details. It is arranged according to the size and type of heterocycles that allows fast but also explanatory insight into synthesis of the particular cycles.
N-Aryl-O-alkylhydroxamic acid derivatives were prepared by copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of hydroxamates with aryl iodides. The reaction conditions are compatible with standard hydroxy-protecting groups on the hydroxylamine moiety and are applicable to a broad range of coupling partners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
