Abstract

Formylation of amines is a very useful process in synthetic organic chemistry. Formamides are a class of important intermediates that have been widely used in synthesis of pharmaceutically important compounds. 1 In addition, formamides have been also extensively employed in organic synthesis as protecting group of amines, 2 precursor for formamidines3 and isocyanide4 preparation, an intermediate for mono methylated amines ...
