Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/je00037a036

Twenty-two new dihydroxamic acids having the general formula (CH2)n2 (n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8; R = H, aryl) have been synthesized either by condensation of the acid chlorides with suitable arylhydroxylamines or by the reaction of the esters with hydroxylamine and characterized by elemental analyses and infrared, UV, and proton NMR spectra.
