The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in water (5 ml). The solution was acidified by the addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid (2M, 4 ml) precipitating the product as a white solid. The product was filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo to yield the title compound (82 mg, 89%).
