Reactions of chlorinated oxiranes with silver tetrafluoroborate in ether have been investigated.Substituted-2-chlorooxiranes (4a - e) afforded the corresponding α-fluorocarbonyl compounds (7a - e) as major products and the isomeric α-chlorocarbonyl compounds (8a - e) as minor products.Substituted 2,3-dichlorooxiranes (10, 14, 20, 24) yielded the isomeric α,α-dichloroketones (13, 19, 22, 26b, 29b) as well as the corresponding α-chloro-α-fluoroketones (12, 17, 21, 26a, 29a) and α,β-unsaturated α-chloroketones (18, 23, 27, 30).The course of the reaction was rationalized.Similar reaction with α-chloroketones and with α,α-dichloroketones succeeded only at substrates (8b, 35) in which the chlorine substituents were in benzylic positions.
