The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 28 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with methylene chloride (600 mL) and washed with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution (300 mL), water (300 mL) and brine (50 mL). After drying (Na2SO4), the organic solvent was removed under vacuum to give a yellow oil which was purified by a flash chromatography on silica gel (85:15 hexane-ethyl acetate) to yield the title compound (4) (10.01 g, 95%).
