Abstract

Formylation of alcohols with ethyl formate in the presence of solid acidic resin Amberlyst-15 as a catalyst was carried out. Good to excellent yields of products were obtained. The catalyst also works for the acetylation of alcohols with ethyl acetate at reflux temperature. Simple work-up, reusability, nontoxicity, and stability of the catalyst are the advantages of this work as compared to conventional protocols.
