N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Transformylation

The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed transformylation has been developed for the conversion of 1°, 2°, and 3° alcohols to the corresponding formates. The reaction employs low catalyst loadings and methyl formate as the formyl transfer reagent. The scope of the reaction is broad with 23 examples reported with good yields (59-96%). The reaction is insensitive to common nitrogen and oxygen protecting groups and can be achieved in the presence of a number of heterocycles.

Polyvinylpolypyrrolidoniume tribromide as new and metal-free catalyst for the formylation and trimethylsilylation of hydroxyl group

Trimethylsilylation of alcohols was achieved using 1,1,1,3,3,3- hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as silylating agent, in the presence of polyvinylpolypyrrolidoniume tribromide in acetonitrile at room temperature. Also a variety of alcohols were converted into alkyl formates by ethyl formate and a catalytic amount of polyvinylpolypyrrolidoniume tribromide under solvent free conditions at room temperature.
