ABSTRACT:
An efficient FeCl3 catalyzed synthesis of N,N’-diarylformamidines
using triethylorthoformate (1 equivalent) and primary aryl amines
(2 equivalents) at ambient temperature has been described. This methodology
provides an eco-friendly and simple procedure without using any hazardous and
expensive chemicals.
