The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 min., diluted with an equal volume of ethyl acetate (20 ml) and flash filtered through silica gel (eluant: methylene chloride/ethyl acetate 1:1). Concentration of the filtrate in vacuo afforded the title compound as an oily gum (0.92 g, 64%). NMR (300 MHz/CDCl3) 9.87 (1 H, s).
