Magnesium Chloride is significantly cheaper than Lithium Iodide - What is reference 47?
The Carlo Venturello patent above is the same as ../rhodium /peroxot

A quick search on google shows that MgCl2 hexahydrate seems to have a few OTC sources.

sam: are you sure that this is the right reference? i had a look through
the article (provided by lugh), but i couldn't find anything about
acetone or magnesium halides. the whole article is about isomerisation
equilibria of hexenes. (possible that i fell asleep during reading the
thing, the topic wasn't all too exciting...)

I'll have to check the book again. Its at the library.

It appears that 47 refers to DE 1119246 and Chem. Abstr. 57, 7176i (1962)
Patent DE1119246
I must have looked at the end of the wrong chapter the last time.
From espacenet this appears to be the British equivalent:

Here's something which uses K or Na iodide and PEG. MDP2P seems to be listed in table 1.

This looks interesting, too.

Very interesting. They say that safrole-epoxide can be isomerised to MDP2P with NaI/PEG in 80-90% conversion. Yield of end product, at least for isosafrol epoxide is lower however. Maybe it could be improved?
