The resulting mixture was poured into water and the aqueous layer was extracted with a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate (1:1). The organic layer was washed successively with water (twice) and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/toluene=1:1 to 1:2) to give ethyl (4-bromo-2-cyclohexyloxyphenyl)acetate (1.24 g).
