One-Step Synthesis of O-Benzyl Hydroxamates from Unactivated Aliphatic and Aromatic Esters
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]We have developed a simple and high yielding one-step method for the synthesis of hydroxamate derivatives directly from a broad range of unactivated esters and the anion of O-benzyl-hydroxylamine generated in situ. The reaction takes place in minutes at -78 degrees C. Very importantly, the method was successfully employed with enolizable esters, including chiral alpha-amino acid esters and peptides, with no trace of racemization/epimerization at the a carbon detected.
