Reaction of a variety of epoxides with DMSO-Oxalyl chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of methanol and a base was studied. Disubstituted epoxides gave α-chloroketones in high yields. Aliphatic terminal epoxide underwent opening reaction to provide α-chloroketone as a major product. Trisubstututed epoxides provided α-chloroketones as major products through the formation of more stable carbocation
