"In which case"

Is the phrase correct: "Amines can be used, IN WHICH CASE amides are obtained."? Is it OK to use "which" in this manner? I'm afraid it is not, but, for example, this phrase would be correct: "We are discussing THE CASE IN WHICH amides are obtained." Or this phrase, also correct: "Amines can be used. In THIS CASE amides are obtained."
