The Bouveault aldehyde synthesis (also known as the Bouveault reaction) is a one-pot
For primaryformylation reaction, and is named for French scientist Louis Bouveault
.
Reaction mechanism
The first step of the Bouveault aldehyde synthesis is the formation of the
hydrolyzed
into the desired aldehyde.
Variations
Variants using organolithium reagents instead of magnesium-based Grignard reagents are also considered Bouveault aldehyde syntheses.[3]
