Methanol (2 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dried azeotropically by evaporating toluene (×2) to to give the crude title compound as a colorless gum (870 mg), which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 3.73–3.79 (1H, m), 3.85–3.92 (1H, m), 4.02–4.06 (1H, m), 7.80 (1H, s) and 7.98 (2H, s).
