The mixture was stirred at 110° C. for 13 hr and partitioned between ethyl acetate-water. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent: hexane-ethyl acetate) and crystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give the title compound as a colorless solid (yield: 2.3 g).
