Application
Methyl formate may be used in the synthesis of the following building blocks:
- methyl 4-chloro-2-formylbutanoate from methyl 4-chlorobutanoate via -formylation
- potassium methyl α-[(methoxyethylidene)amino]-β-hydroxyacrylate from methyl α-[(methoxyethylidene)amino]acetate
- (S)-(-)-1-formyl-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine from (S)-(+)-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine via N-formylation
