Aryl formates are prepared in a two step one-pot procedure from phenols. Firstly the formylating reagent triformamide (1b) is generated from sodium diformamide (2) and methane-sulfonyl chloride in situ, which reacts with phenols 4a-f to give aryl formates 5a-f in good yields. Triformamide, prepared in situ, transforms anisole in the presence of aluminum chloride to the N-(diarylmethyl)formamide 7.
