Formaldehyde reacts with diformamide (10) to give N-(hydroxymethyl) diformamide (11), which upon treatment with thionylchloride yields N-(chlormethyl)diformamide (12) together with small amounts of oxydimethylenebis(diformamide) (13). Various diformylamine derivatives, such as diformylaminomethyl formiate (14), diformylaminomethylisothiocyanate (15) and the N-diformylaminomethylated guanidinium salt 16, can be prepared from 12. Bis(diformylamino) methane (7) can be obtained by the reaction of sodium diformamide (8) with either 1-(chloromethyl)pyridinium chloride (9) or N-(chloromethyl)diformamide (12) in acetonitrile. The action of tris(chloromethyl) amine (18) on sodium diformamide (8) affords tris(diformylaminomethyl)amine (19). The constitution of the compounds 7,11 and 19 was confirmed by crystal structure determination. The nature of the products from the reactions of aromatic compounds with 12 depends on the Lewis acid which is used as activator. Thus the N-benzylformamides 20a, b can be obtained from toluene and mesitylene and 12/BF3-ether, whereas 1,2,4- trimethoxybenzene is formylated by 12/AlCl3 to give the aldehyde 22. Interestingly enough, a novel and efficient formylating reagent resulted from these investigations: bis(diformylamino)methane (7), which can be activated by Lewis acids, e. g. AlCl3. The scope of this procedure is comparable with that of the Olah-formylation method (formylfluoride/BF3).
