The reaction mixture is kept at -78° C. for 0.5 h, quenched with water, warmed to room temperature, and extracted with ether. The extract is washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by flash column chromatography on silica gel (10%→20% ether-hexane) gives 0.83 g (28%) of 7-tert-butyl-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-formylbenzo[b]furan as a yellowish oil.
