2-Methyl-3-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenemethanol → HCID 20188385, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 6 g of (3-pyrrol-1-yl)2-methylbenzyl alcohol, 300 ml of benzene and 30 g of manganese dioxide was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and 12 g of manganese dioxide were added thereto. After stirring for 2 hours, another 6 g of manganese dioxide were added to the mixture which was then stirred at room temperature for 19 hours and was vacuum filtered. The filter was rinsed with benzene and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to obtain 4.89 g of 3-(pyrrol-1-yl)-2-methylbenzaldehyde melting at 82° C.
