Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-furanmethanol (49 g), methylamine hydrochloride (51.5 g) and 36% formaldehyde solution (50 ml) was stirred at 0°-3° for 3 hr and allowed to stand for 16 hr. Excess sodium carbonate was added and the slurry extracted with ethyl acetate. After removal of solvent the residue was distilled to give 5-(methylamino)methyl-2-furanmethanol (36.2 g) b.p. 111°-113° (0.2 mm).
