The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, filtered, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in THF and washed with brine. The organic phase was then dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography (SiO2, heptane/ethyl acetate) to yield the title compound as a white solid (92% yield). MS (m/e): 248.3 ([M+H-Me2C═CH2]+, 100%).
