Phase-transfer-catalysed Preparation of N-Alkylated Trihydroxamic Acids†

Abstract

We describe a synthetic route involving phase transfer catalysis leading to a series of tripodal N-alkylated hydroxamic acids as models of desferrioxamine; iron(III) exchange reactions between their iron complexes and EDTA were investigated.
