The mixture was heated to 50° C. and incubated for 8 hours. The mixture was then stirred overnight at room temperature and subsequently quenched with water. The resultant mixture was extracted with chloroform (3×20 ml). The chloroform extracts were combined and the chloroform was removed using a rotary evaporator. The remaining residue was extracted with ether (2×25 ml), and the ethereal extract was washed with water (2×20 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. A pale yellow oil was obtained after removing the ether. Purification by TLC with a mobile phase of chloroform and diethyl ether (9:1) resulted in a colorless crystalline compound (0.65 g, 70% yield, m.p. 58-59° C.).
