After cooling to RT, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water followed by a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was purified by FCC on silica, using a gradient of 1-10% MeOH in DCM followed by 100% DCM, to afford the title compound (196 mg, 64%). LCMS (Method 4): Rt 3.44 min, m/z 306 [MH+].
