After stirring for 10 minutes, the reaction mixture is filtered on No. 3 sintered glass and the solid residue rinsed with twice 10 cm3 of dichloromethane. The filtrate is washed 3 times with 30 cm3 of water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered to give a solution of 2-[(1E)-3-chloro-1-propenyl]-1,4-difluorobenzene (3.8 mmol) which is then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa) at a temperature in the region of 20° C., before dissolution in acetonitrile.
