Abstract
Abstract 4-(Dibromomethyl)benzenecarbaldehyde was synthesized for the first time using a new method which also allowed the co-preparation of terephthalic aldehyde. The reaction of this aldehyde with primary amines resulted in the formation of imines, including those containing an additional acetal group, while the reaction with trialkyl orthoformates led to the formation of acetals. The latter compounds were transformed into 4-(dibromomethyl)-substituted benzenes containing a phosphorus functional group in the side chain via consecutive reactions with phosphorus trichloride and the esters of P(III) acids.
