The mixture is heated at 150° C. for 14 h. The solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue is washed with 10% NaOH solution. The aqueous layer is extracted with diethyl ether (2×100 mL) and the combined organic layers are dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to provide the crude compound. The crude material is purified over neutral alumina eluting with 1% of ethyl acetate/hexane to afford the title compound as an off white solid (10 g, 77%).
