After 3 hours, the reaction was cooled to 0° C. and quenched with aqueous NH4Cl. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc and the organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure affording (3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)methanol (0.450 g, 1.842 mmol, 95% yield, MS/ESI+ 227.1 [MH−H2O]+). This product was used without any further purification.
