The resulting white mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours, diluted with water, acidified to pH1 with 2N HCl (aq), extracted with EtOAc (×3). Combined extracts were washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to yield the title compound as a yellow solid (1.24 g, 100%).
