The mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into 20 ml of water, and extracted three times with 30 ml of CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were washed with 50 ml of water, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under vacuo. The resulting solid was flash chromatographed over silica gel using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford 60 mg of 2-methoxy-4-propylphenol in 48% yield.
