Upon cooling to room temperature the organic solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue acidified by the addition of 2M hydrochloric acid (30 ml). The solid material was collected by suction filtration, rinsed with water (2×20 ml) and sucked dry under reduced pressure to afford 2-allyloxy-4-hydroxy-5-isopropylbenzoic acid (715 mg, 88%) as a pale green solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 11.92 (1H, br s), 10.08 (1H, s), 7.56 (1H, s), 6.48 (1H, s), 6.03 (1H, m), 5.50 (1H, dm), 5.27 (1H, dm), 4.53 (2H, m), 3.11 (1H, m), 1.13 (6H, d).
