Methanol (10 mL) was added slowly at -70° C., then the mixture was warmed to room temperature and water (100 mL) and 1N aqueous HCl (50 mL) were added. The mixture was shaken and the organic layer collected; the aqueous fraction was extracted with ether and the combined organic fractions washed 3 times with water, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated down to a thick oil. The crude title compound was used as such in the next step.
