A catalytic amount of 20% palladium-on-carbon is added and the reaction mixture is stirred under one atmosphere of hydrogen at room temperature for 2 hours. The catalyst is removed by filtration through Celite and washed with ethyl acetate. The solvent is evaporated to provide 1.3 g (67%) of product as a thick oil;
