The reaction mixture was stirred at 140° C. for 20 h, then H2O was slowly added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed twice with saturated NaCl solution, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified using flash chromatography (silica gel, hexane/EtOAc/AcOH 3:2:0.2→1:3:0.2) to yield the desired product as an orange solid.
