Abstract: The subject invention involves processes for making hydroxamic acid compounds using a solid-support resin having an oxime moiety as the linking moiety of the resin, comprising the steps of (a) treating the resin with a carboxylic acid compound, such that it is attached to the resin by a condensation reaction between the oxime and carboxyl moieties; (b) optionally modifying the side chain; (c) cleaving a product from the resin by treating with O-tert-butyldimethylsilylhydroxylamine; (d) optionally modifying the side chain; and (e) optionally treating the resulting O-TBS-protected material with acid to produce an unprotected hydroxamic acid compound.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for making 2-amino-2-imidazoline, guanidine, and 2-amino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydroyrimidine derivatives by preparing the corresponding activated 2-thio-subsituted-2-derivative in a two-step, one-pot procedure and by further reacting yields this isolated derivative with the appropriate amine or its salts in the presence of a proton source. The present process allows for the preparation of 2-amino-2-imidazolines, quanidines, and 2-amino-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines under reaction conditions that eliminate the need for lengthy, costly, or multiple low yielding steps, and highly toxic reactants. This process allows for improved yields and product purity and provides additional synthetic flexibility.
