After 3 hr the reaction was cooled and poured into water. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc which was then dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (50% EtOAc/Hex) to give a solid (2.8 g, 55%): Mp=62-65° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 12.45 (br s, 1 H), 7.09 (d, 1 H, J=2.9 Hz), 6.87 (d, 1 H, J=3.0 Hz), 3.72 (s, 3 H), 3.66 (s, 3 H), 3.59 (s, 2 H); MS 273/275 (M−H)−.
