The reaction mixture was cooled and partitioned between ethyl acetate (250 mL) and H2O (100 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (75 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography using CH2Cl2:hexanes (2:3 to 3:2) to give a pale yellow oil (4.58 g, 35%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.29 (t, 3H, J=7.1 Hz), 1.57 (s, 6H), 4.25 (q, 2H, J=7.1 Hz), 4.98 (s, 2H), 6.79 (dd, 1H, J 3.2, 9.1 Hz), 6.89 (d, 1H, J=8.8 Hz), 7.17 (d, 1H, J=3.4 Hz), 7.32-7.40 (m, 5H); MS (ES) m/e # [M+1].
