The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with the addition of aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (50 mL), and methanol was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to provide methyl 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzoate (10.53 g, 96%) as a light brown solid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 166.0. Found 167.1 (M+1)+; Retention time: 1.09 minutes (3 min run).
