This invention relates to the use of lactamide compounds of formula (I): CH3CH(OH)C(=O)NR1R2, where R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen; or C1-6 alkyl, C2-6 alkenyl or C3-6 cycloalkyl, each of which is optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from phenyl, hydroxy, C1-5 alkoxy, morpholinyl and NR3R4 where R3 and R4 are each independently C1-3 alkyl; or phenyl optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from C1-3 alkyl; or R1 and R2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a morpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl or azepanyl ring, each of which is optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from C1-3 alkyl, in formulations to reduce the toxicity associated with other formulation components; to the use of certain lactamide compounds as solvents, especially in formulations, particularly in agrochemical formulations and in environmentally friendly formulations; to novel lactamide compounds; and to processes for preparing lactamide compounds.

Lithium aluminum amides , 6a-6d, easily prepared in Et2O or THF from 1 equiv of LiAlH4 and 5 equiv of amine, proved to be efficient reagents for the synthesis of secondary amides from esters (ca. 100 percent with unhindered amines and 92 percent with t-BuNH2).They also open aryl epoxides with very high regioselectivity to give 97-98 percent of the β-amino-α-arylethanols (corresponding to the SN2 mechanism).
