After cooling, the reaction mixture was neutralized with 1 N HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford an oil which was chromatographed on silica gel (15% ethyl acetate/hexane) to afford 4-(4'-methylphenoxy)phenyl allyl ether.
