The reaction of imidazole (15) with formyl chloride (14), generated in situ by the action of oxalyl chloride (10) on formic acid (3), afforded N-formylimidazole (7), which is a convenient formylating reagent. This procedure was used to prepare N-formyl derivatives (2) of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic amines (1) under mild conditions.
