After addition was complete, the reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min. The reaction was then quenched with sat. aq. NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The pure title compound was isolated using FCC (0-50% EtOAc in heptanes). MS (ESI−) m/z 201.2 (M−H).
