The heating was continued for 1 hour at the end of addition. The solution was cooled, water added, the dioxan evaporated and the residue extracted with chloroform and dried (MgSO4). Removal of the solvent gave a solid which was recrystallised from ethyl acetate to give 26 g of the title compound. τ(d6DMSO) 7.83 (3H, s), 6.14 (2H, s), 2.69 (2H, d, J=9 Hz), 2.05 (2H, d, J=9 Hz).
