Abstract

A wide variety of epoxyethers were cleanly rearranged to give a good yield of the corresponding methoxy ketones using magnesium bromide as a catalyst (cf. Table I). The structures of the new epoxyethers were proved by degradation reactions and the methoxy ketones were prepared independently or the structures proved by a second order Beckmann degradation of the corresponding oxime.
