The electroreduction of nine N-haloamides (ZCONRX) at a dropping mercury electrode has been investigated in protic and aprotic media. Preparative electrolysis indicated the possibility of capturing the intermediate amide radical by intermolecular addition to olefins or by intramolecular hydrogen abstraction.
