The resulting mixture was stirred at 85° C. for 16 h. The reaction was partitioned between water (200 mL) and ethyl acetate (100 mL). The aqueous phase was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The combined organic solutions were washed with water (2×100 mL) and brine (100 mL), dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with isohexane to 10:1 isohexane:ethyl acetate gradient. The fractions containing product were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give the subtitled compound as a clear oil. Yield 0.26 g.
