General description

Dichloromethylene-dimethyliminium chloride (Vilsmeier reagent) reacts with o-acetaminophenols under Meth-Cohn conditions to yield 2-formylpyrido[2,1-b]benzoxazoles[1].

Application

Dichloromethylene-dimethyliminium chloride was used as reagent in the synthesis of selenourea[2] and (R)-2-(2-chloroethyl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester[3]. It was used for introducing amide chloride group into activated substrates[4].
