The reaction mixture was heated at 70° C. for 1 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and was quenched with MeOH (1.1 mL). The solution was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and was washed with 1 N HCl (10 mL). The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to give 4-ethyl-3-methoxybenzoic acid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 180.1, found 179.1 (M−1)−; Retention time: 1.77 minutes (3 min run).
