The reaction was heated an additional 24 hours at 175° C. and 300 psi. The reaction mixture cooled to room temperature and diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give a brown oil. The oil residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography using chloroform to 2% methanol in chloroform as eluent to give 0.820 g (60%) of the title compound as a white solid, mp 115-116° C.
