Efficient procedures for the synthesis of N-(1-alkylamino-2, 2-dichloroethyl) benzamides, N- (1-arylamino-2, 2-dichloroethyl) benzamides and N-(1-amino-2, 2-dichloroethyl) benzamides are reported. These compounds are of special interest as intermediates to access new heterocyclic series. N-(2, 2-dichlorovinyl) amides react with primary or secondary alkylamines to yield the title compounds in high to quantitative yields. However, ...
