After stirring for 20 minutes, crushed dry ice (excess) was added. The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for one hour, and 1 M hydrochloric acid and water were then added, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate) to give 4-trimethylsilanyl-benzoic acid (363 mg, 86%).
