Procedure

2-(4-methoxy-phenylsulfanyl)-2-methyl-3-phenyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (4.12 g, 12 mmol) dissolved in methanol (50 ml) and 10 N NaOH (20 ml) was added. The reaction was allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with 1:1 hexane:diethyl ether and extracted with H2O. The water layer was cooled with ice and acidified to pH 3. The acid was then extracted with chloroform and the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to afford of 2-(4-methoxy-phenylsulfanyl)-2-methyl-3-phenyl-propionic acid as a low melting solid. Yield 580 mg, 16%; MS: 303.2 (M+H)+. To a stirred solution of 2-(4-methoxy-phenylsulfanyl)-2-methyl-3-phenyl-propionic acid (0.5 g, 1.65 mmol) and DMF (2 drops) in CH2Cl2 (100 ml) at 0° C., oxalyl chloride (1.0 gm, 8 mmol) was added in a drop-wise manner. After the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Simultaneously, in a separate flask a mixture of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (2.0 gm, 29 mmol) and triethylamine (5 ml, excess) was stirred in THF:water (5:1, 30 ml) at 0° C. for 1 hour. At the end of 1 hour, the oxalyl chloride reaction mixture was concentrated and the pale yellow residue was dissolved in 10 ml of CH2Cl2 and added slowly to the hydroxylamine at OC. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours and concentrated. The residue obtained was extracted with chloroform and washed well with water. The product obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography and eluted with ethyl acetate. The N-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenylsulfanyl)-2-methyl-3-phenyl -propionamide was isolated as a colorless solid. mp 88° C.; Yield, 300 mg, 57%; MS: 318 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (300 Mz, CDCl3): δ 1.32 (s, 3H), 3.07 (d, J=11 Hz, 1H), 3.23 (d, J=11 Hz, 1H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 6.83-7.36 (m, 9H).
