Orthoamide, LXIII [1]. Tris(dichlormethyl)amin, ein neues breit anwendbares Formylierungsmittel für Aromaten / Orthoamides, LXIII [1]. Tris(dichloromethyl)amine, a New Formylating Reagent for Aromatic Compounds of Wide Scope
reagent system formed from tris(dichloromethyl)amine (5) and aluminium chloride allows the formylation of aromatic compounds. The scope of the method is comparable with that of the Olah formylation and the Groß-Rieche procedure, since benzene and even chlorobenzene can be formylated. One formyl group is transferred from 5 to the aromatic nucleus. In order to find optimal reaction conditions, the molar
