ANGELI-RIMINI Hydroxamic Acid Synthesis

Hydroxamic acid formation from aldehyde and Af-sulfonylhydroxylamine.

Angelo Angeli s name, along with that of Enrico Rimini (1874—1917), is often associated with the chemical reaction that bears their names. In 1896 Angeli, and independently Rimini, discovered the reaction between an aldehyde and a sulfonamide to form a hydroxamic acid they published their discoveries in the same year [115, 116]. The reaction was mainly used as a chemical test in the dairy industry for detecting the presence of aldehydes as a consequence of food storage. The Angeli-Rimini reaction has been recently applied in solid-phase synthesis [117].
