Consumption of starting materials was confirmed by LC-MS analysis and TLC. Ethanol was evaporated under reduced pressure; the crude solid residue was stirred with acetone at 0° C. for 1 h, filtered, washed with acetone, dried under vacuum. After that the solid was suspended in water, basified with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution (pH˜8), extracted by dichloromethane (2×200 ml), washed with water followed by satd. Brine solution. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to get 2.9 g (73% yield) title compound as green oily liquid. It was taken forward for the next step without any further purification.
