Procedure: Sodium hydride (60%, oily, 310 mg) was added to a mixture of methyl 4-phenyl-3-pyrrolcarboxylate (1.20 g), 5-chloromethyl-2-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)pyridine (1.88 g), and N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain methyl 1-[6-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)-3-pyridylmethyl]-4-phenyl-1H-pyrrol-3-carboxylate (2.74 g, yield: 96%) as a colorless oily substance from the fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:2, volume ratio). extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution dried (MgSO4) concentrated

Procedure: Sodium hydride (60%, oily, 2.20 g) was added to a mixture of methyl 4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (11.10 g), 3,5-dibenzyloxybenzyl methanesulfonate (21.9 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (200 ml) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water, then with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and methyl 1-(3,5-dibenzyloxybenzyl)-4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (26.4 g, yield: 95%) was obtained as an oily substance from the fraction eluted with tetrahydrofuran-hexane (1:2, volume ratio). was extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4) concentrated

Procedure: Sodium hydride (60%, oily, 0.36 g) was added to a mixture of methyl 4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (1.81 g), 6-benzyloxy-2-chloromethylnaphthalene (2.54 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (35 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into water, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water, then with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), then concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatograpy, and methyl 1-(6-benzyloxy-2-naphthylmethyl)-4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (3.20 g, yield: 80%) was obtained as colorless crystals from the fraction eluted with tetrahydrofuran-hexane (1:2, volume ratio). This was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. Melting point: 109–110° C. was extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4) concentrated

Procedure: Sodium hydride (60%, oily, 298 mg) was added to a mixture of methyl 4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (1.50 g), 4-(4-chloromethylphenoxymethyl)-5-methyl-2-phenyloxazole (2.34 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (15 ml) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for one hour. The reaction mixture was poured into dilute hydrochloric acid, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), and then concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and methyl 1-[4-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-oxazolylmethoxy)benzyl]-4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (3.12 g, yield: 88%) was obtained as colorless crystals from the fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:3, volume ratio). This was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. Melting point: 115–116° C. was extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution dried (MgSO4) concentrated

Procedure: Sodium hydride (60%, oily, 2.55 g) was added to a mixture of methyl 4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (11.61 g), 4-benzyloxybenzyl chloride (15.23 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for one hour. The reaction mixture was poured into dilute hydrochloric acid, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), and then concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and methyl 1-(4-benzyloxybenzyl)-4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (22.16 g, yield: 97%) was obtained from the fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:4, volume ratio). This was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. Melting point: 97–98° C. was extracted with ethyl acetate The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution dried (MgSO4) concentrated

Procedure: Methyl 4-phenylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (920 mg., 4.6 mmoles) and benzoyl chloride (0.53 ml., 4.6 mmoles) were combined in 50 ml. methylene chloride and stirred under nitrogen at room temperature. Stannic chloride (1.15 ml., 10 mmoles) was added. The resulting solution was stirred for 1.5 hours. Hydrochloric acid (1 N 25 ml.) was added slowly. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, the methylene chloride layer separated, back-washed with two 20 ml. portions of water, approximately 50 mg. of solids removed by filtration, and the filtrate evaporated to dryness. Recrystallization of the residue from acetone afforded purified methyl 4-phenyl-5-benzoylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (673 mg., m.p. 201°-203° C.). The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes the methylene chloride layer separated back-washed with two 20 ml of solids removed by filtration the filtrate evaporated to dryness Recrystallization of the residue from acetone afforded purified methyl 4-phenyl-5-benzoylpyrrole-3-carboxylate (673 mg., m.p. 201°-203° C.)
