Abstract

Arylhydroxylamines are an important class of compounds frequently used as key intermediates in the construction of numerous fine chemicals, 1 many natural products and other useful biologically active compounds. 2 They also exhibit a wide range of pharmacological and physiological activities. 3 For these reasons, several methods have been developed for the preparation of arylhydroxylamines, including catalytic transfer hydrogenation and metal-mediated ...
