The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours at room temperature. Dichloromethane (60 mL) was added and the organic layer was washed with brine (2×20 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting 33% dichloromethane in heptane to afford the title compound (306 mg, 70%) as a colourless oil.
