Molecular Diversity of Hydroxamic Acids: Part I. Solution- and Solid-Phase Synthesis

Hydroxamic acid derivatives are an important class of molecules with a variety of pharmaceutical properties. Over the last decade steady progress has been made in the development of efficient methods for the syntheses of hydroxamic acid derivatives. This mini-review covers the most recent publications that highlight current strategies and syntheses of bioactive molecules containing the hydroxamate moiety in both solutionand solid-phase.
