The mixture was filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography using as eluent 5% EtOAc/CH2Cl2 to afford the title compound as an off-white solid (1.54 g, 3.8 mmoles).
