‘The Vilsmeier aldehyde synthesis’ or ‘The Vilsmeier-Haack formylation’ is a typical aldehyde synthesis employing a formylating agent derived from a formamide and POCl3. It is a
special type of Friedel-crafts reaction, which involves electrophilic substitution of an activated aromatic ring with a halomethyleniminium salt.
The scope of the Vilsmeier reagent is not confined to aromatic formylation reaction alone. A wide variety of alkene derivatives and activated methyl and methylene groups exhibit reactivity towards the Vilsmeier reagent. In addition to the carbon nucleophiles, some oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles are also reactive towards Vilsmeier reagent. Numerous transformations of the iminium salts into products other than aldehydes have been achieved and these transformations enhance the scope and versatility of the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction

Synthetic applications of Vilsmeier reagent
Chamaecin (2-hydroxy-4-isopropylbenzaldehyde) was synthesized using MFA and POCl3 and tested for its
tyrosinase inhibitory activity. It partially inhibits the oxidation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) catalyzed by mushroom tyrosinase.

•The styrene related alkene derivative under Vilsmeier condition provides cinnamaledhyde.
•Monoformylation and diformylation takes place upon reaction of Vilsmeier reagent with benzalacetones.
Reaction of carbonyl compounds with Vilsmeier reagent provides mainly 3-chloroacrolin derivatives.

•One of the major forces that sustain interest in heterocyclic chemistry is the fact that nature elaborates many of these ring systems.
•Nearly all the alkaloids are derived from heterocyclic molecules and a reasonable number of them are used as medicines.
•Heterocycles are also present in fossil fuels, much to the chagrin of environmentalists.

Mechanism for Cyclization
Pyrazole derivatives which have been the basis of numerous dyes, are also useful as analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and anaesthetic drugs. They are also used as chemical bleaching agents, luminescent, fluorescent substances and as antioxidants in motor fuels. Sulphonamides based pyrazoles has prolonged bacteriostatic action in vivo. Pyrazole-4-carboxamide and acetamide have been used as antialcoholic agents.
Synthetic Studies on Pyrazole
Pyrazoles are synthesised from hydrazone derivatives. Pyrazole synthesis exploits the reaction of 1,3-diketones with hydrazine derivativest to give 3,5-Dimethylpyrazole in 80% yield

Synthesis of 3-arylethenylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehydes
The synthesis of pyrazole derivatives by the Vilsmeier cyclization of acetophenone phenylhydrazones prompted us to study the effect of Vilsmeier reagents on the 4-aryl-3-buten-2-one phenylhydrazones. 4-aryl-3-buten-2-one phenylhydrazones are known to undergo tautomerism under acidic conditions to give the corresponding pyrazolines and we expected such a rearrangement to occur under the Vilsmeier conditions followed by formylation of the resulting pyrazoline system to give 1,2-diphenyl-3-N,N-dimethylaminomethylene-4-methyl-1H-pyrazolines or the pyrazole aldehyde
Reaction of 4-aryl-3-buten-2-one 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazones with vilsmeier reagent gave the corresponding 1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-3-(2-arylethenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxaldehydes in excellent yields

Most of the synthetic routes to 2(3H)-benzimidazolone involve o-phenylenediamine as the starting material, which is a suspected carcinogen and is costlier. And there is no generalized strategy available for the synthesis of these title compounds in one-pot. Hence we aimed at a simplified generalized procedure for the preparation of 2(3H)-benzimidazolones, 2(3H)-benzoxazolone and 2(3H)-benzothiazolone.
Synthesis of acyl azidesPhosgene employed along with DMF in the earlier
method for the synthesis of acyl azide, is highly toxic. We have chosen DMF and POCl3, which are milder, for the preparation of
acyl azide. Addition of POCl3 facilitates the reaction to be one-
pot since it forms the Vilsmeier adduct with DMF at first, which then complexes with the carboxylic acid and reacts with sodium azide to form the acyl azide in excellent yield.

Acyl azides are derived in situ from ortho amino benzoic acids upon treatment with DMF/POCl3 and azide ion.
These acyl azides after curtius rearrangement upon stirring for 8-10 hours yield 2(3H)-benzimidazolones.

Synthesis of 2(3H)-benzothiazolone and 2-chlorobenzothiazole
Salicylic acid and thiosalicylic acid yield 2(3H)-benzoxazolone and 2(3H)-benzothiazolone respectively in good yields upon treatment with ammonium azide and three equivalents of DMF-POCl3 complex.
Stirring the reaction mixture at room temperature for about 6-10 hours effected both rearrangement and cyclization. Excess POCl3
replaces –OH group with –Cl yielding 94% of 2-chlorobenzothiazole.

The Vilsmeier cyclization of 2'-aminochalcones provides a mild one pot synthesis of 2-aryl-4-chloro-N-formyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines. The scope of the reaction has been extended for the synthesis of quinolines themselves, by replacing 2'-aminochalcones with 2'-azidochalcones as the starting material.
