After the reaction mixture was poured into water and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (four times), the organic layer was successively washed with water (twice) and a saturated aqueous NaCl solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The residue obtained by removing the sol-vent under reduced pressure was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluting solvent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=5/1-2/1) to give [2-(dimethoxymethyl)-3-(methoxymethoxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methanol as an orange oil (22.6 g, two-step total yield: 52%).
