The mixture was cooled to RT and then taken up in EtOAc (100 mL) and H2O (50 mL). The EtOAc extract was washed with brine (50 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, concentrated and dried in vacuo. The crude product was purified by chromatography using the ISCO Combiflash SQ16× (120 g Redisep silica gel column, 0 to 60% EtOAc in hexanes for 30 min at 40 mL/min) to afford 1.189 g (68% for 2 steps) of white solid as a purified product.
