The resulting solution is heated on a steam bath for 5 minutes and an additional 20 g. of sodium hydrosulfite are added and the solution is heated for 5 minutes on a steam bath. Then 38.3 g. of sodium hydrosulfite and a solution of 400 ml. of ethanol and 500 ml. of water are added, and again the solution is heated on a steam bath for 5 minutes. The solvent is removed to give a tan solid which is recrystallized from hexane to give white crystals, m.p. 89°-90° C. of 1-(2-amino-4-methylphenyl)pyrrole.
