primary amines from carboxylic acids through a Lossen rearrangement of hydroxamicacid derivatives, which were in situ generated by the reaction of carboxylic acids with O-trimethylsilylhydroxylamine (NH2OTMS) and carbonyl diimidazole (CDI, 1.5 equiv) in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature, has been achieved. This one-pot method could be applied to various carboxylic acids such as aromatic, heteroaromatic
