A new direct conversion of aldehydes to amides has been realized, in the presence of iron(III) chloride as a catalyst and using tert‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. Both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes were successfully reacted with variously mono‐ and di‐substituted N‐chloroamines. The methodology has a wide substrate scope, uses cheap and easily available reagents and is characterized by short reaction times.
