The reaction mixture was carefully poured over an ice-chilled sat. aq. NH4Cl solution (300 mL). It was extracted with EA (3×200 mL) and the combined org. layers were washed with brine (300 mL) dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by FC (6:4 hept-EA) gave the title compound as a yellow oil: TLC: rf (6:4 hept-EA)=0.24. LC-MS-conditions 06: tR=0.49.
