“…So far, many synthetic methodologies for α,α‐dihaloamides are available, among which the most prevalent strategy relies heavily upon the ammonolysis of α,α‐dihalocarboxylic acid derivatives with an amine 3,5. Other methods are reported by the direct α,α‐dihalogenation of β‐oxo amides with various halogenating systems, such as chlorine/ hv ,6a SO 2 Cl 2 ,6b N ‐chlorosuccinimide/NaH,6c aqueous bromine,6d and PhI(OAc) 2 /ZnX 2 (X = Cl, Br) 6e. Nevertheless, some of these methods involve hazardous reagents, harsh reaction conditions, or generation of wastes that not only reduce process efficiency but also pose environmental problems.…”
