The extent of reaction was monitored by TLC (50% EtOAc in hexanes). When completed the mixture was poured into 300 mL of 1.0 N aqueous NaOH and extracted with EtOAc (5×). The combined organic portions were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in EtOAc, quickly filtered through basic alumina, and concentrated again to yield a product which was triturated with pentane to yield 10.22 g of the title compound as a tan solid.
