Abstract
The synthesis of the title compounds starts from methyl (3-subst. phenoxy)alkanoates II which are reduced to the corresponding aldehydes and then transformed to oximes V by reaction with hydroxylamine. Reduction with borane-pyridine complex gives the hydroxylamines VI which on diacetylation and partial deacetylation provide the hydroxamic acids VIII.
