The resultant reaction mixture was then warmed to 60° C. and stirred for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml), washed with water (3×25 ml), brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to give compound (13b) (2.46 gm, 72%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.40 (s, 9H), 3.40 (m, 5H), 4.00 (m, 2H), 4.20 (m, 2H), 5.2 (m, 1H), 7.50 (m, 3H), 7.70 (d, 2H); MS: m/z 277.10 (M+1)+.
