After cooling to room temperature, remove the solvent under reduced pressure to give a yellow solid. Distribute the solid between dichloromethane (250 mL), distilled water (150 mL) and a saturated aq. sodium bicarbonate solution (50 mL). Isolate the aqueous phase and extract with dichloromethane (100 mL). Dry the combined organic phases over sodium sulfate and concentrate to give a dark gold oil. Subject oil to silica gel chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate and hexanes to give a light brown solid (3.24 g, 52% yield). MS(ES+): m/z=292.1 [M+H].
