The reaction was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 4 h. The mixture was then poured into saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (1×50 mL), dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum to leave a crude oil. The oil was purified by flash column chromatography [SiO2; ethyl acetate-methanol-ammonium hydroxide (9:1:0)→(90:9:1)] to give an oil (022 g, 87%). The oil was dissolved in boiling 2-propanol (5 mL) and a solution of fumaric acid (0.05 g) in hot 2-propanol (5 mL) was added. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue triturated with ether to give the product as an off-white solid (40 mg, 10%). mp 180-182° C.
