The Vilsmeier reaction on the homoallyl alcohols (1a-c), derived from cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone and cycloheptanone respectively, leads to a mixture of monocarboxaldehydes (2a-c) and dicarboxaldehydes (3a-c) which have been readily separated and characterized.The Vilsmeier route incidentally provides a short synthesis of indane-5-carboxaldehyde (2a), a terpenoid constituent of a medicinal plant.
