The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 90 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and the organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to a solid, which was purified by column chromatography on silica (20 to 100% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the product, 890 mg, 3.3 mmol, 74% yield. 1H NMR 500 MHz (DMSO-d6) 12.19 (1H, br s), 8.32 (2H, m), 8.13 (1H, s), 7.78 (1H, d), 7.48 (1H, d), 7.23 (1H, dd), 4.31 (2H, q), 1.30 (3H, t).
