After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was poured over ice. The mixture was acidified using 6N HCl solution and then extracted twice with ether; the extracts were combined, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under vacuum to leave an oil. The oil was chromatographed on silica gel using 6% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford 2-(2-benzyloxyethyl)acrylic acid tert-butyl ester as a clear oil, 18.51 g (87%).
