To this mixture were then added 54 mg (0.3 mMol) palladium(II) chloride and the mixture was heated to 100° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was filtered through a bed of 100 gm silica gel, eluting with 1 liter of 1:1 hexane:ethyl acetate. Fractions containing crude product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography, eluting with a gradient of hexane containing from 0–20% ethyl acetate. Fractions containing product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide about 1.8 gm of the desired compound as an oil which gradually crystallized.
