The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h, quenched with 1 N HCl to pH 7, diluted with NaHCO3 solution and extracted with EtOAc. The extract was dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was evaporated. Silica gel chromatography of the residue in hexane-ethyl acetate (95:5, 90:10) yielded the product (682 mg, 87%) as a white solid.
