The ring-opening reaction of 3-substituted β-lactones with thiols was achieved using CsF in DMF as promoter. The resulting β-sulfanyl-carboxylic acid intermediates were coupled to hydroxylamine-Wang resin and the sulfur atom was selectively oxidized to afford β-sulfinyl- and β-sulfonyl-hydroxamic acid libraries.
