After 30 minutes, the mixture was partitioned between DCM and water. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM and the combined organics were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The yellow solid was purified by column chromatography (DCM/MeOH) to afford the ester (9.67 g, 58%) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ7.62 (s, 1H), 4.41-4.38 (m, 2H), 4.13 (q, 2H), 4.08 (t, 2H, J=6.03 Hz), 2.21-2.15 (m, 2H), 1.21 (t, 3H, J=7.09 Hz).
