Abstract

Introduction

The protection of the hydroxyl group as formamides is a crucial initial step in pharmaceutical synthesis.

Methods

In this study, we investigated the -formylation of alcohols using dimethylformamide (DMF) in a mixture with a new magnetic nanocomposite FeO@Chitosan/POCl.

Results

The results demonstrate that this core-shell heterogeneous nanocomposite facilitates the formation of alkylformate, yielding products with high efficiency ranging from 79% to 96% within a remarkably short reaction time of 1 to 12 hours at room temperature, depending on the substrate structure. Significantly, the presence of this nanocomposite exhibits remarkable selectivity, favoring the formylation of less hindered benzylic and aliphatic primary alcohols. However, bulkier alcohols and phenols exhibit lower reactivity under these conditions and thiols do not react. The simplicity of the work-up procedure, combined with the magnetic recyclability, makes it reusable and environmentally friendly.

Conclusion

This study highlights the efficacy of this novel magnetic nanocomposite in facilitating formylation reactions, emphasizing its potential for application in pharmaceutical synthesis and bio compounds. This is due to its attributes of non-toxic nature, stability, and significant advantages over conventional methodologies.
