This letter describes a convenient synthesis of the six isomeric tri- and tetramethylbenzaldehydes, which are not readily available from major chemical suppliers. Formylation of readily available phenols via electrophilic aromatic substitution provides compounds containing the correct aromatic substitution pattern. ?Suzuki cross-coupling of the corresponding trifluoromethanesulfonates with methylboronic acid then provides the benzaldehydes as single isomers.
