Ethyl acetate and hydrochloric acid (2M) were added and the organic phase dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated. The residue was distilled in vacuo to give ethyl 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)acetoacetate as a liquid (8.5 g), NMR 1.15 and 1.13(t,3h), 1.8 and 2.2(s,3H), 3.75 and 3.85(s,3H), 4.1-4.3(2q,2H), 5.15(s,1H), 6.9-7.3(m,4H), 13.1(s,1H).
