After cooling, the solution was diluted with water, extracted three times into ether that was subsequently washed with brine and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The ether solution was washed, dried with MgSO4 and evaporated to give (R)-(+)-methyl 3,4-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-2 H- 1-benzopyran-2 carboxylate (2).
