Water (100 mL) is added and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic extracts are dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give a brown oil. The oil is subjected to flash chromatography, eluting with a mixture of diethyl ether and pentane (1:4 v/v), to give 3-cyclopentyloxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzaldehyde, in the form of a pale yellow oil (4.7 g). [NMR (CDCl3): 9.92(s,1H); 7.5-7.24(m,3H); 6.34-5.96(t,1H); 4.9(m,1H); 2.0-1.6(m,8H)].
