α-chlorination of ketones with sodium chlorite, Mn(acac)3, and alumina in dichloromethane

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808005082

Chlorination of a variety of aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic ketones with a reagent combination of NaC1O₂ and Mn(acac)₃ catalyst can be readily performed in dichloromethane to afford α-chloroketones in good yield under mild and neutral conditions with the aid of chromatographic neutral alumina.
