Using conc. hydrochloric acid, the reaction solution was adjusted to pH 2.2, and extracted in ethyl acetate. The organic layer was rinsed in aqueous saturated sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to obtain the residue. The residue was recrystallized in ethyl acetate and toluene, to obtain 2.8 g (11.3 mmol) of 4-benzyl-4-hydroxy-2-ketoglutaric acid in crystal form.
