Description

A new procedure was developed for formylation of arenes to produce aromatic aldehydes using a sodium formate/triphenylphosphine ditriflate system in ethanol at room temperature in good yields. The simplicity of the procedure, short reaction times, and mild reaction conditions are the other advantages of this metal- and carbon monoxide-free protocol.
