Deprotonation of phenols using magnesium methoxide, followed by distillative removal of free methanol and addition of paraformaldehyde results in ortho-specific magnesium mediated formylation to give the corresponding salicyladehyde magnesium salts, from which the salicylaldehydes can be isolated by acidic work-up.Addition of aq. hydroxylamine sulfate to the salicylaldehyde magnesium salt, in place of the acid work-up, gives the corresponding salicylaldoximes.
