After stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes, the solvent was evaporated and the residue was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate and ice-water. The organic layer was separated, washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel column eluting with a mixture of chloroform and ethyl acetate (4:1) to give ethyl 4-[1-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)indolizin-3-yl]butyrate (344 mg) as yellow solid.
