After stirring at room temperature overnight, the mixture was acidified (pH =1) with hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL) and the combined organic phases washed with 10 mL of brine. The organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford a quantitative yield of the title compound.
