Ma. Bailen et al., Direct synthesis of hydroxamates from carboxylic acids using 2-mercaptopyridone-1-oxide-based thiouronium salts, TETRAHEDR L, 42(30), 2001, pp. 5013-5016
Tetrafluoroborate and hexafluorophosphate thiouronium salts derived from 2-
mercaptopyridone-1-oxide and tetramethylurea (TOTT and HOTT) or N,N ' -dime
thylpropyleneurea (TODT and HODT) convert carboxylic acids to Weinreb amide
s and N-methoxy or N-benzoxyamides in high yields by reaction with N,O-dime
thylhydroxylamine and O-methyl- or O-benzyl-hydroxylamine hydroxylamine hyd
rochlorides. respectively. in the presence of triethylamine or DIEA. (C) 20
