After this time the reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and purified in 200-300 mg batches using RP-HPLC (Table 1, Method i). The pure fractions were combined and concentrated to remove the organic solvent. The resulting precipitate was filtered from the aqueous layer and dried in a vacuum overnight to give the title compound as a white solid (0.054 g, 1.5% yield). LC/MS (Table 1, Method b) Rt=1.77 min; MS m/z: 414.0 (M+H)+.
