After the addition is completed 500 ml water is added. The solution is filtered and extracted with chloroform. The combined organic extracts are dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. Chromatographically pure 4-chloro-3-hydroxymethyl-flav-3-ene is obtained as a yellowish oil; TLC (SiO2, CHCl3): 1 spot, RF 0.18.
