After heating for 1.5 h the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite® and washed with 200 mL of ethyl acetate and water (twice with 25 mL). The organic phase was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 5 g (94%) of the title compound as a solid melting at 128-129° C.
