Mysterious reaction
Does somebody know what kind of reaction is going on here? At a first glance I thought that was a Hoesch reaction but it doesn't use paraformaldehyde.
It has everything for a Hoesch reaction but has the paraformaldehyde as a intruder. Maybe it's two reactions yielding the same product? Maybe it's a
variation of the Vilsmeier–Haack reaction? What do you think, guys?

Like the Vilsmeier-Haack, it is a formylation. This looks like a variant of the magnesium-mediated formylation of phenol, albeit less amateur friendly due to the acetonitrile and triethylamine.
