The resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a 3% methanol/ethyl acetate mixture to give a crude solid, which was washed with diisopropyl ether/hexane to afford the title compound as an orange solid (1.39 g, 4.74 mmol, 70%).
