The mixture was diluted with sat. NaHCO3 (100 ml) and organic layer was separated. The organic phase was washed with water, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give 8.9 g (79.4% yield) of ethyl 3-(4-cyclopentylphenyl)-but-2-enoate (3a, formula 3, R=cyclopentyl) as oil.
