A solution of n-hexylmagnesium bromide (2M in Et2O, 1.9 mL, 3.8 mmol) is added via syringe to the resulting red solution, causing an immediate color change to dark brown and finally to violet. The resulting mixture is stirred for 5 min. Work-up as described above provides 4-hexylbenzoic acid methyl ester as a colorless syrup (90%). The spectroscopic and analytical data are identical to those compiled above.
