Abstract

We report a new method to formylate phenol derivatives using formamidine acetate and acetic anhydride. This general-purpose transformation is a significant improvement over many other methods and does not require high temperatures or the addition of strong acid or base. Mono-, di-, and tri-formylated product can be obtained, depending on the substrate and conditions used.
