Abstract

The reaction of phenol and ot-butylphenols with N, N-dimethylformamide–phosphoryl chloride complex in dimethylformamide afforded the corresponding formates in fairly good yields. The scope and limitation of o-formylation of highly sterically hindered phenols with the complex were also examined.
