Procedure

A mixture of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde (100 g, 0.66 mol), 1 L of dimethylformamide and 2 L of dichloromethane was cooled in an ice bath. Thionyl chloride (53 mL, 0.73 mol) was added dropwise while stirring. After 18 hours at room temperature, the mixture was cooled again and diethylamine (275 mL, 2.6 mol) was added dropwise. After stirring at room temperature for one hour the solvent was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved in aqueous 0.1M sodium hydroxide and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to give a yellow oil. Chromatography on silica gel with dichloromethane: ethanol (0-2%) gave 44.2 g (32%) of 4-formyl-N,N-diethylbenzamide as a yellow oil.
