The reaction mixture was then allowed to stir for 1 h at ambient temperature. Analysis of an aliquot by silica TLC (ethyl acetate) indicated that the reaction was complete. Water (130 mL) was added and methanol removed in vacuo. Water (800 mL) and 1N HCl (100 mL) were added and the mixture allowed to stir overnight. The solid was filtered, washed with water, and dried. Recrystallization from methyl(i-butyl)ketone gave the title compound.
