The solution is diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and washed with brine (40 mL). The organic solvents are dried over MgSO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica chromatography, eluting with 10% to 50% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford the title compound (367 mg, 1.53 mmol).
