A new one-pot method has been developed for the direct preparation of α-chloroketone dimethyl acetals from ketones using ammonium chloride as the source of chlorine and potassium monoperoxysulfate as the oxidant in the presence of trimethyl orthoformate in methanol at room temperature. Ketones which have electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl rings gave the corresponding a-chloroketone dimethyl acetals in moderate to good yields.

Reaction of 1-aryl-2,2-dichloro-1-alkanones with alkoxides in the corresponding alcohol afforded a mixture of 1-aryl-2,2-dialkoxy-1-alkanones and 1-aryl-1,1-dialkoxy-2-alkanones.The mechanism was shown to proceed via α-chloro-α'-alkoxy epoxides, which rearranged into 1-alkoxy-1-aryl-1-chloro-2-alkanones, the latter giving the final compounds via either another epoxide intermediate or a solvolysis mechanism. α,α-Dibromo- and α-bromo-α-chloroalkyl aryl ketones behaved analogously, but α-bromo-α-fluoro- and α-chloro-α-fluoroalkyl aryl ketones gave exclusively solvolysis of initially formed 1-alkoxy-1-aryl-1-fluoro-2-alkanones, resulting in rearranged 1-aryl-1,1-dialkoxy-2-alkanones. α,α-Difluoroalkyl aryl ketones did not rearrange but underwent reduction of the carbonyl function on treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol.The influence of varying factors, such as the steric requirements of the alkoxide and the substrate, the concentration of the alkoxide, the aromatic substituent, the temperature, and the halogens, was investigated and correlated to the mechanism involved.
