The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with 1N HCl solution. The organic solution was dried over Na2SO4, evaporated in vacuo and purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane; 5:95) to give the acetic acid 3-methoxy-benzyl ester as a slightly yellow oil (17.84 g, 96%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 2.08 (s, 3H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 5.06 (s, 2H), 6.85 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 6.89 (s, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.25 (t, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 13C NMR (CDCl3, 100 MHz) 20.6, 54.8, 65.7, 113.30, 113.32, 120.0, 129.2, 137.1, 159.4, 170.4.
