The reaction was basified with 2 N NaOH solution (50 mL) and product was extracted into CH2Cl2 (2×25 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (15 mL) and dried (Na2SO4). Solvent was evaporated and crude was purified by column chromatography (2 M NH3 in methanol:CH2Cl2, 5:95) to obtain compound 3 (0.7 g, 66.6%) as a syrup. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.12-7.08 (m, 2H), 6.35 (d, 1H, J=9.0 Hz), 4.19-4.10 (m, 1H), 3.45-3.39 (m, 2H), 2.91 (t, 2H, J=8.1 Hz), 2.70-2.63 (m, 3H), 2.51-2.43 (m, 1H), 2.34 (s, 3H), 2.19-2.07 (m, 1H), 1.93-1.81 (m, 1H); ESI-MS (m/z, %): 281, 283 (MH+, 100).
