The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 1 hour at −78° C., then added dropwise to a flask containing CO2 (1.8 g, 40.8 mmol) (solid, dry ice) in THF (2 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 30 minutes warming to room temperature. Water (20 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The resultant aqueous layer was acidified with 1N HCl solution to pH 1 and was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 mL). The organics were separated and the combined organics were washed with brine solution, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 4-isopropoxy-3-methoxy-benzoic acid (310 mg, 85%) as a white solid.
