After 6 h, the reaction was cooled, poured into water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (eluent 10% EtOAc/hexanes) to give a yellow solid (1.2 g, 60% yield, mp 70-72° C.); 1H NMR(DMSO-d8) 11.4 (s, 1H), 7.75 (d, 2H, J=8.5 Hz), 7.15-7.11 (m, 2H), 7.03-6.98 (m, 3H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 3.73 (s, 3H); MS m/e 257 (M−H)+.
