The mixture was added to a slurry of copper chloride (120 mg) in concentrated hydrochloric acid (1.2 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1 day at room temperature. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane/methanol (10/1) to afford 210 mg (84%) of the title compound as white solids: 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.77 (1H, d, J=2.7 Hz), 7.51 (1H, dd, J=9.0, 2.7 Hz), 7.40–7.20 (3H, m), 6.80 (1H, d, J=9.0 Hz).
