The mixture is partitioned between DCM and water and the organic portion is separated, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by chromatography on silica eluting with iso-hexane: EtOAc (4:1 increasing to 1:1) affords the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.32 (4H, m), 7.20 (1H, m) 4.04 (2H, q), 3.72 (2H, m), 2.50-1.30 (9H, m), 1.19 (4H, m), 0.89 (3H, d).
