After stirring for 3 h, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU, 0.6 ml, 3.98 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for an additional 19 h and then concentrated. The residue was diluted with dichloromethane (200 ml) and washed with water (100 ml×2). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane/dichloromethane (1:4:1) to give the title compound including impurity. The crude product was washed with ethyl acetate to give 297 mg (42%) of the title compound as yellow solids.
