The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the solvent was removed to obtain a solid, which was dissolved in water (20 ml) and stirred in an ice-water bath. 1N HCl (aq) was added to adjust the pH to 4. The solid was filtered, and dried in vacuo to yield the title compound as a grey solid. 674 mg.
