Magnesium chloride in alcohols was found to be effective to promote the opening of α,β-epoxy sulfoxides, giving a variety of compounds such as α-chloro ketones, α-alkoxy ketones, or α,β-unsaturated ketones.The products of the reaction were dependent upon the combination of the substituents on the epoxy group of α,β-epoxy sulfoxides, magnesium salt, solvent, and reaction conditions.Keywords -- α,β-epoxy sulfoxide; epoxide; α-chloro ketone; α-alkoxy ketone; α,β-unsaturated ketone; magnesium chloride

It was found that acylation of a variety of aliphatic olefins with acid chlorides is efficiently promoted by active zinc compounds, which were prepared from a Zn/Cu couple and alkyl iodides.The crude product mixtures were subsequently treated with 1 M KOH in methanol or were subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to afford the corresponding α,β-unsaturated or saturated ketones in good to moderate yields.It was also shown that the reaction fully follows the Markovnikov rule.
