The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 0° C. and then poured into a flask containing ice, diluted with 400 mL of EtOAc, added to a separatory funnel, partitioned with water, washed 2 times with 100 mL of water, separated, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (10.82 g) as a white amorphous solid after flash chromatography. MS (m/z)=261 (M+H)+.
