The reaction was quenched by water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was washed with ethyl acetate/diisopropyl ether to give the title compound as a colorless powder (224 mg, 0.557 mmol, 81%).
