Using DMF as an electrophile
« on: May 18, 2009, 05:51:28 PM »
I wonder if someone could help me!

I'm having a bit of a dumb moment, and I can't seem to draw out the mechanism for the use of DMF as an aldehyde equivalent... Could someone please draw it out for me ?!

Thanks!

Thanks for that!

I do already know of the Vilsmeier-Haack and was looking for the use of DMF without POCl3 in particular.

If anyone is interested, the reaction is called the Bouveault aldehyde synthesis, and it goes a little something like this!
