The mixture was heated under reflux for 5 h. After cooling, the mixture was filtered through Celite and the filter cake was washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was washed with brine, dried, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography using methylene chloride:methanol gradient (0-5%) to afford the title compound (4.8 g, 51%). LC-MS: 239.0 [M−1]−.
