The suspension was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hrs then diluted with diethyl ether (500 mL). The organic phase was washed with water (2×500 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give the title compound as an oil (46.4 g). 1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.38 (2H, d, J=8.0 Hz), 7.21 (2H, d, J=8.0 Hz), 2.83 (2H, d, J=7.0 Hz), 1.08-0.98 (1H, m), 0.58 (2H, q, J=5.1 Hz), 0.24 (2H, q, J=5.1 Hz).
