The mixture was stirred for 15 min at room temperature and 10 min at 60° C. Iodomethane (0.19 mL, 2.97 mmol) was added with a syringe. After 4 h the reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc (×3). The organic phases were combined and washed with brine and dried with MgSO4. The crude product was purified by chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/EtOAc 10:1 to afford the title compound as a colourless oil.
