After 30 min at room temperature, the reaction was diluted with water (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). Removal of the volatiles in vacuo left a residue; flash chromatography using 10% methylene chloride/petroleum ether as eluent provided 4-tert-butyl-2-nitrotoluene.
