The reaction was heated under reflux for 5 hours under argon. The solvent was evaporated and the residue dissolved in dichloromethane, washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with a mixture of ether/hexane (5:95) to afford the title compound (1.09 g, 51%); MS (ES+) m/e 288 [M+H]+.
