Intrigued by the recent discovery of caramboxin by Brazilian researchers, we present the results from our studies toward the racemic synthesis of caramboxin analogs through the orthocarboxylation of 3,5-dimethoxy benzyl derivatives. Three different approaches were tested, and the route involving a Vilsmeier-Haack formylation followed by a Lindgren oxidation provide a potential intermediate for the synthesis of several caramboxin analogs.
