Warm the mixture to room temperature and stir overnight. Add water (100 mL), saturated aqueous K2CO3 (50 mL), and extract with DCM. Wash the combined organic extracts with water and brine. Dry the organic phase over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate in vacuo. Purify by chromatography on silica gel (300 g) eluting with 9:1 DCM/(chloroform:methanol:concentrated NH4OH 80:18:2) to obtain the desired intermediate (1.53 g, 38%). MS (APCI+) m/z: 175 (M+H)+.
