Convenient synthesis of a library of discrete hydroxamic acids using the hydroxythiophenol (Marshall) resin

Several resins have reportedly been used to synthesize hydroxamic acids except for the hydroxythiophenol (Marshall) resin. Herein, we report the use of the Marshall resin to synthesize hydroxamic acids from carboxylic acids and its application to convert a library of 14 discrete aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids including N-protected amino acids to their corresponding hydroxamic acids in good yields.
