The solution was allowed to stir at room temperature for 3 hours. The solvent was evaporated to afford an orange oil. The oil was dissolved in ether, washed with saturated NH4Cl and brine, then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give an orange oil. The oil was purified by distillation (bp=106° C. at 1.3 mm Hg) to afford the title compound as a pale yellow oil (10.118 gm, 53%).
