The mixture was heated at 80 C for 3 days, then cooled and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was redissolved in ethyl acetate and washed water then brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate then the solvent removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified by column chromatography (3/1 hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford 0.078 g of title compound.
