title: Alkene hydrofunctionalization using hydroxamic acids: a radical-mediated approach to alkene hydration.
abstract: A radical-mediated approach to alkene hydration is described. The present strategy capitalizes on the unique radical reactivity of hydroxamic acids, which are capable of functioning as both synthetically useful oxygen-centered radical species and suitable hydrogen atom-based donors. This reaction manifold has been applied to both alkene hydrations and tandem alkene-alkene carbocyclization processes.
