The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 7 h then diluted with 1 L of water. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL) and the combined organics were washed with water (2×100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 25% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford the title compound as a clear gum 16 g (72%). LC-MS: m/z (ES) 224 (MH)+
