Ethyl Bromide → (2-Methyl-5-furanyl)propanol

Under an atmosphere of nitrogen, 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 10 mg of iodine were mixed with 3.974 g of magnesium flakes. With stirring, 3 ml of a solution prepared by dissolving 22.28 g of ethyl bromide in 25 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to the mixture. The residual tetrahydrofuran solution of ethyl bromide was added dropwise to the reaction vessel placed in a water bath over one hour. After stirring for thirty minutes, a solution prepared by dissolving 15 g of 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to the reaction solution over five minutes under ice-water cooling. After one hour, the reaction solution was added to a cooled 10% ammonium chloride solution and stirred for five minutes. The mixed solution was extracted twice with diethyl ether. The combined ether layer was washed twice with a saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was distilled, and a distillate fraction of 95° to 98° C. at 22 mmHg was collected to yield 28.977 g of 1-(5-methyl-2-furyl)propanol. Yield 91%
