Water (100 mL) was added, the mixture was saturated with ammonium chloride, and then extracted with ethyl acetate (4×100 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (50 mL), brine (25 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel chromatography using 0-50% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent afforded the title compound (5.10 g, 54%).
