AbstractThis review focuses on the use of dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds via formylation of active methylene groups, methyl groups to give enamines, and formylation of amino groups to give amidines. These compounds are found to be useful intermediates in the formation and modification of heterocyclic compounds. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2009).
