Unexpected products from the formylation of N,N-dimethylanilines with 2-formamidopyridine in POCl3

Abstract

2-Formamidopyridine in POCl3 solution reacts with N,N-dimethylaniline to give tris(4-dimethylaminophenyl)methane in 80% yield but with 4-X-N,N-dimethylanilines it gives 2-dimethylamino-5-X-phenyl[2-(N-methyl)formamido-5-X-phenyl](2-pyridylamino)methanes.
