The mixture is warmed to ambient temperature, stirred for 24 hours, and then poured into brine. The mixture is extracted with chloroform and the organic phase washed with NaHCO3, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to yield the title compound as a white solid (16.7 g). This material is used without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.49–7.27 (m, 5H), 5.40 (s, 2H).
