The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water, extracted with ethyl acetate and concentrated to afford 6.3 g of crude product. The crude product was combined with 2.7 g of crude product from a similar experimental run and the mixture was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 2.5% EtOAc/CH2 Cl2 to 50% EtOAc/CH2Cl2 to afford 5.63 g of 2-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl oxycarbonyl)-5-hydroxymethylfuran.
