The solution was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate and extracted with Et2O. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH 2 by addition of 1N HCl and extracted with Et2O. The organic layer was washed with water (30 mL) and brine (40 mL), dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated to a white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 14.06 (broad, 1 H), 8.08-8.02 (m, 1 H), 7.83-7.76 (m, 2H), 7.69-7.63 (m, 1 H), 4.02 (s, 3 H); MS m/z: 226 (M−1).
