The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and then evaporated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in 2M hydrochloric acid, washed with methylene chloride (2×20 ml), basified with solid NaHCO3 to pH 7.5 and then extracted with methylene chloride (10×20 ml). The combined organic extracts were evaporated under vacuum to leave the desired product as a brown oil (0.5 g).
