Mode opératoire

To a stirred solution of 5-amino-2-methylphenol (9.84 g, 80 mmole) in methanol (100 mL) at 4° C. was added pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde (11.41 g, 120 mmole) and sodium acetate (13.13 g, 160 mmole). The reaction mixture was stirred for 15 minutes and sodium borohydride (3.78 g, 100 mmole) was added portionwise over 1 hour at 4° C. After the addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to stir for an additional 3 hours. The reaction mixture was poured onto crushed ice slurry (200 g) and the resulting precipitate was collected and washed with cold water three times and air-dried to afford 2-methyl-5-[(1H-pyrrol-2-yl-methyl)amino]phenol (6.62 g, 41% yield): mp 115.4-116.8° C.; 1HNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.94 (s, 3H), 4.03 (d, 2H, J=5.6 Hz), 5.37 (t, 1H, J=5.6 Hz), 5.90 (m, 2H), 6.01 (dd, 1H, J=2.2, 8.0 Hz), 6.12 (d, 1H, J=2.1 Hz), 6.61 (m, 1H), 6.70 (d, 1H, J=8.1 Hz), 8.77 (s, 1H), 10.64 (s, 1H); MS m/z 202 (M+).
