On cooling, water (70 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, the product was extracted with EtOAc (20 mL×3). The combined organic layers were concentrated to give the crude product, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with heptane to afford the title compound as a colourless oil (260 mg, 28%).
