The reaction mixture is heated to reflux overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture is neutralized with 5N HCl, concentrated to ⅓ volume, treated with brine, and extracted into dichloromethane. The aqueous layer is back-extracted with dichloromethane, and the combined organic layers are dried and concentrated. The resulting residue is applied to silica gel and eluted using hexanes with an ethyl acetate gradient from 0% to 50% to give the title compound (5.84 g).
