The reaction mixture was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The crude was absorbed on silica and purified on a silica gel column with a 5-20% ethyl acetate/hexanes gradient to afford 1.25 g of colorless oil (t-butyl ester). This material was dissolved in 4N HCl/dioxane (10 ml) and stirred at rt overnight. Concentration under reduced pressure afforded the product as colorless oil (1.08 g, 60%).
