Tin halide-base complexes are used as catalysts for controlling the regioselectivity in the reaction of alpha,beta-epoxyketones with electrophiles. Bu2SnX2-Ph3P complex caused the cleavage of the C-O bond adjacent to the carbonyl group. SnCl2-base complex resulted in the opposite regioselectivity. By using PhCOCl and TsN=C=O as electrophiles, haloesters and 2-oxazolidone were obtained.
