2-Bromocarboxamides carrying a primary, secondary or tertiary halide and a primary or secondary amide function react with N-protected amino acids in the presence of silver oxide to afford the desired depsipeptide analogs in high yields. Some racemization was observed in the synthesis of a lactoylamide derivative.
