On reaction completion, water (10 ml) was added and the solution acidified to pH 3 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. Chromatography (SiO2, heptane-ethyl acetate 4:1) afforded 10-(2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-dec-9-enoic acid as a colorless oil.
