The residue was taken up in 25 mL of ethyl acetate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (0-50% ethyl acetate in hexane) gave the product as white crystalline solid: MS (m+1)=168.1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 8.72 (s, 1H), 8.4 (s, 1H), 7.67 (s, 1H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 3.82 (s, 3H).
