A one-pot reaction of α,α-dicyano epoxides with amine hydrohalides provides an attractive and general route to α-halo amides. A wide variety of amines (primary alkyl, aryl, amino esters, amino amides) and epoxides (monosubstituted alkyl, aryl; disubstituted alkylaryl) can be used, and α-halo amides are generally formed in good to moderate yields.

epoxides - amines - ammonium salt - amides - aminoesters - α-haloamides - precursors of peptides and analogs - heterogeneous medium
