A convenient two-step procedure for a two carbon homologative conversion of alkyl halides into aldehydes and methyl ketones by α-alkylation of unsaturated carboxylic acids, followed by ozonolysis is developed and applied to the synthesis of ω-chloro aldehydes. Triethylamine is superior to dimethyl sulfide or triphenylphosphine for cleavage of the ozonides, except when aldol condensation side reactions require use of protic solvents and iodide salts. Cleavage of the ozonides by triethylamine is shown to occur mainly through a reductive process.
