A prodrug system for hydroxylamines based on esterase catalysis.

The synthesis and reactivity of hydroxy hydroxamates as models for a prodrug form of hydroxylamine are described. Gamma-hydroxy hydroxamates were found to enable hydroxylamine release via lactonisation. Hydroxamates were found to undergo esterase catalysed hydrolysis.
