The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and the reaction mixture was poured onto a silica gel pad (Merck Art. No. 9385). Elution with hexane followed by a 4:1 (v/v) mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate gave ethyl 3-allyl-4-hydroxyphenoxyacetate (1.62 g) as a solid, mp 52.8° C.; microanalysis, found: C, 66.3; H, 7.20%; C13H16O4 requires: C, 66:1; H, 6.83%; NMR (CDCl3): 1.28 (3H, t), 3.35 (2H, d), 4.25 (2H, q), 4.55 (2H, s), 4.73 (1H, s), 5.07-5.20 (2H, m), 5.88-6.10 (1H, m) and 6.62-6.78 (3H, m); m/z 237 (M+H).
