Samarium(II) iodide mediated coupling reactions of α-haloamides with carbonyl compounds are found to give N,N-dibenzyl-β-hydroxyamides (4a-i, 5a-i, and 6a) in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The transformation of 4a and 5a to N,N-dibenzyl-3-phenylpropanamide (7) and β-hydroxycarboxylic acid (8), respectively, are described.
