The reaction mixture was neutralized with 1 M hydrochloric acid at 0° C., and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the obtained solid was washed with diethyl ether/hexane to give the title compound (1.68 g).
