The reaction mixture was stirred overnight and the precipitated silver iodide salts were filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated down to a residue which was chromatographed using 50% ethylacetate/hexane to yield the title compound (795 mg, 48% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.57–2.61 (2H, m), 2.81–2.85 (2H, m), 3.27 (3H, s), 3.82 (3H, s), 6.62 (1H, s), 7.31 (1H, s). m/z (APCI+) 318 (M+1). HPLC (aqueous 200 Mm ammonium acetate buffer/acetonitrile gradient, 3.0 ml/min, Hewlett Packard ODS Hypersil 5 μM, 125×4 mm column), 4.959 min.
