Hi to Everybody and a special hug to nicodem old master at the hive's,
i'm new here, i've a question : in your opinion does exist an alternative way less carcinogenic than the classic formylation with the famigerate
dichloromethyl methyl ether of the benzene ,to obtain the target compound 2,5-dimethoxy-4-ethylbenzaldehyde?
i've used really carefully the UTFSE but with no results
thank's in advance to help me.turd - 17-1-2012 at 14:50
I suppose the classic Vilsmeier–Haack is out of the question due to alleged difficulties in acquiring POCl3?
Ah - an employee of the department of redundancy department.
He doesn't work for me! That man is an impostor!
We need to sticky instructions on how to use google to search the site. Just use site:sciencemadness.org as a search term and it will filter results
to only those that come from this site.
Not that anyone would read it anyway. Such is the nature of forums, I suppose.smuv - 17-1-2012 at 22:28
Dichloromethyl methyl ether is much less carcinogenic than chloromethyl methyl ether, really it's not too bad. Also I recommend using TiCl4 instead
of SnCl4.
