If any chemical is commercially available it is listed in CHEM SOURCES 
(one for Europe, one for North America).  You might also take a peek in 
the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, which almost always includes 
synthetic references if a compound is listed.

"Organic Syntheses" should have a general synthesis of hydroxamic acids 
hidden in there somewhere, probably in an early Collective Volume.  I'd 
look for the one from benzoate - one imagines it has few possible side 
products and tends toward crytallinity - which make for good yields.
