Oi. Petrov et al., C-FORMYLATION OF SOME 2(3H)-BENZAZOLONES AND 2H-1,4-BENZOXAZIN-3(4H)-ONE, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 62(3), 1997, pp. 494-497
The C-formylation of 1.3-dimethyl-2(3H)-benzimidazolone and 4-methyl-2
H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one was performed using 1,1-dichloromethyl meth
yl ether at the Friedel-Crafts reaction conditions. The formylation of
3-methyl-2(3H)-benzoxa- and -thiazolone at the 6-position was carried
out by modified Duff's method with hexamethylenetetramine in trifluor
oacetic acid.
