Abstract
A dioxygenation of alkenes using molecular oxygen and a simple, readily prepared hydroxamic acid derivative in the presence of a radical initiator offers an alternative to common dioxygenation processes catalyzed by precious transition metals. This transformation capitalizes on the unique reactivity profile of hydroxamic acid derivatives in radical-mediated alkene addition processes.
