Reaction Steps
2.18 g (13.9 mmole) of 3-benzylpyrrole, 0.42 g (13.9 mmole) of paraformaldehyde and 0.07 g (0.5 mmole) of anhydrous potassium carbonate are mixed and stirred at 50° C. for 4 hours in an atmosphere of nitrogen. Dry tetrahydrofuran is added to the reaction solution and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated to obtain 2.53 g of 3-benzyl-1-pyrrolylmethanol as a pale yellow liquid. Yield 97.3%. nD31.5 1.5837.
