15. Reverse addition of a carboxylic acid to a mixture of PPAA, hydroxylamine, and TEA, gave a lower hydroxamate yield (16% with oleic acid) compared to the direct addition, suggesting a certain competition between carboxylate and hydroxylamine for phosphonylation.

17. However, attempts to oxyamidate betulinic acid, an even more encumbered triterpenoid substrate, failed.
18. Since p-methoxy- and p-nitrobenzoic acids gave yields similar to that of benzoic acid, the origin of this effect is unclear.
