| Reimer-Tiemann Reaction is widely used for the formylation of phenols. Various phenolic aldehydes can be synthesized from phenols with chloroform – base reagents (dichlorocarbene) through Reimer-Tiemann reaction, while anilines are reacted with chloroform at basic conditions in relatively lower yields. Komiyama has demonstrated that the orientation of dichlorocarbene attack at phenolates was controlled by cyclodextrin. Primary and secondary amines easily reacted with dichlorocarbene first, due to their electron pair, to have isocyanate or N-formyl products, however, tertiary anilines, for example, N,N-dimethylaniline, are relative stable to these reactions. In this study, N,N-dimethylaniline was selected as a substrate for beta-cyclodextrin controlled Reimer-Tiemann reaction. Ratio of beta-cyclodextrin to N,N-dimethylaniline, potassium hydroxide concentration, addition methods, reaction time, solvent and temperature effects on the reaction were investigated and optimized. A reaction mechanism was proposed
