The reaction was stirred for 2 h at room temperature. The reaction was diluted with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate (10 ml), washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. Organics were combined, dried over sodium sulfate and dried in vacuo to give the desired compound (1.4 g, 91%).
