B. Balasundaram et al., SYNTHETIC STUDIES ON N-ACETYL DERIVATIVES OF AMINO-ACIDS AND THIOLACTONE USING VILSMEIER-HAACK REAGENT, Tetrahedron letters, 34(26), 1993, pp. 4249-4252
A variety of N-acetyl derivatives of amino acids have been subjected t
o Vilsmeier reagent to obtain 2,4-dichloro-3,5-diformylpyrrole and 2-f
ormylmethylene-4-substituted oxazolidin-5-ones. The N-acetyl homo cyst
eine thiolactone gave 5-chloro-3-formylthieno (2,3-b)pyridine on react
ion with Vilsmeier reagent.
