NEW DATA ON THE FORMYLATION OF MESITYLENE AND DIMESITYLMETHANE BY DICHLOROMETHYL ETHER

During the formylation of mesitylene by the action of dichloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of aluminium chloride or titanium tetrachloride an appreciable amount of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzylidene chloride is formed.This indicates the possible appearance of the CHCl2+ cation as intermediate particle.The disubstituted products are formed in addition to the monosubstitution products.In addition to the corresponding dialdehyde, the formylation of dimesitylmethane leads to the formation of products which contain one benzene ring and appear during cleavage of thesubstrate and subsequent substitution (formylmesitylene, dichloromethylmesitylene, chloromethylmesitylenecarbaldehyde, chloromethyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzylidene chloride).
