The vessel was then opened to vent unreacted isobutylene. The remaining liquid was poured into 10% (w/v) sodium hydroxide solution (150 ml) and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with 1:9 ethyl acetate:hexane, to give t-butyl 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoate (9.1 g, 70%) as a colorless oil; NMR (80 MHz, CDCl3): 1.6[s, 9H, C(CH3)3 ], 2.27(s, 3H, CH3), 3.86(s, 3H, OCH3), 7.11(d, 1H), 7.49(m, 2H).
