Aluminium lithium hydride → HCID 66914812, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (113 mg, 3.06 mmol) was added portionwise to a stirred solution of methyl 1-(methoxymethyl)-4-phenyl-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (500 mg, 2.04 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) over a period of 15 min at 0° C. The resulting mixture stirred for 12 h and then quenched with ice and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield [1-(methoxymethyl)-4-phenyl-pyrrol-2-yl]methanol (400 mg, 91%) as a brown liquid.
