The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid and aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to afford the desired product (1.2 g, 93%) as an off-white solid: ESI MS m/z 325 [C12H10O3S+H]+.
