The reaction mixture was heated at 65° C. overnight. The resulting solution was acidified with aq. HCl (2 mol/L) and extracted with EtOAc (200 mL×3). The organic layer washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under vacuum to give crude product, which was purified by column (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 15:1) to give 1-(3-hydroxymethyl-4-methoxy-phenyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid methyl ester (8.0 g, 39%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.23-7.26 (m, 2H), 6.83 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 4.67 (s, 2H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 3.62 (s, 3H), 1.58 (q, J=3.6 Hz, 2H), 1.14-1.17 (m, 2H).
