Procedure

A mixture of 2-methyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (6.05 g, 39.24 mmol), benzyl bromide (5.14 mL, 43.17 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was cooled with an ice-water bath, then the solids of NaH (1.89 g, 47.09 mmol) were added in one portion, the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 h, then quenched with saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution, diluted with EtOAc, the organic phase was washed with water and saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, respectively, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated, and the residue was purified with column chromatography to give the desired title product (5.537 g); 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm)=7.30 (m, 3H), 6.95 (m, 2H), 6.57 (d, 1H, J=3.0 Hz), 6.53 (d, 1H, J=3.0 Hz), 5.03 (s, 2H), 4.25 (q, 2H, J=7.0 Hz), 2.44 (s, 3H), 1.34 (t, 3H, J=7.0 Hz).
