The first paper of this series recorded the synthesis of a-bromoacetyl derivatives of a number of aliphatic amines.'In order to investigate systematically the fungicidal activity of alpha bromo amides, the synthesis of corresponding a-bromopropionamides was undertaken. As in the case of the a-bromoacetamides, there is little information in the literature regarding the dimethyl-a-brom~ propionamide~ were prepared by treating the amine dissolved in ether ...
