The mixture was warmed slowly to RT and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (5 mL) and diluted with EtOAc (200 mL) and then filtered. The filtrate was washed with water (300 mL) and brine (300 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness to obtain the title compound. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.33 (s, 1H), 7.24 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 3.64 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 2H), 2.96-3.09 (m, 2H), 2.65-2.77 (m, 3H).
