The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 24 hours and then concentrated in vacuo. The crude product is purified by means of flash chromatography (180 g of silica gel; ethyl acetate/petroleum ether=1:1). 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6): 3.63 ppm (s, 3 H); 3.79 ppm (s, 2H); 7.4 to 8.0 ppm (m, 10H); 2.6 ppm (1H).
