The resulting solution is stirred at room temperature for 24 hrs at which time TLC analysis indicates no remaining starting material. The solution is poured into 20 ml of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted two times with ether. The combined organic extracts are washed with water (pH adjusted to 7 with 10% aqueous sodium bisulfate), dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 173 mg of crude product.
