Water was added to the reaction solution, and the organic matter was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated sodium chloride solution, then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. Then, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, whereby a crude product was obtained. This crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0 to 60:40 (v/v)), whereby the objective title compound was obtained as a colorless oily substance (19.2 g, yield: 103%).
