Water and diethyl ether are added to the reaction mixture, the phases are separated, the organic phase is washed with 1 M aqueous sodium carbonate solution, dried over MgSO4, and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product is purified by distillation under vacuum yielding 5-bromo-7-methoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran.
