The combined mixture was heated at 180° C. for 1 h and then at 210° C. for a further 2 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and diluted with water (100 ml) and extracted with diethyl ether (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with water, brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a yellow oil: 0.9 g (61%) GC-MS: M=140.0.
