After addition was complete the mixture was stirred at reflux for 6 h. Upon completion of the reaction the tetrahydrofuran was removed in vacuo and the residue was diluted in diethyl ether and washed first with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid, then 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, a saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over magnesium sulfate. The mixture was filtered and evaporated and the residue dried under high vacuum which afforded (E)-3-(3-cyano-phenoxy)-but-2-enoic acid methyl ester as an oil (4.60 g, 76%) and used without further purification.
