The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, then quenched with water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give the title compound (37.5 g, 96.5% yield) as a white solid, mp 65-66° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.75 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.73 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (dd, J=8.4 and 1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.15 (m, 2H), 4.27 (m, 1H), 4.19 (m, 2H), 4.03-3.92 (m, 2H), 3.96 (s, H), 3.69 (dd, J=8.4 and 6.0 Hz, 1H), 1.64 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 3H), 1.40 (s, 3H), 1.37 (s, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 174.4, 157.6, 135.3, 133.7, 129.2, 128.8, 127.1, 126.1, 125.9, 119.0, 109.7, 105.5, 73.4, 66.2, 64.8, 55.2, 45.2, 26.5, 25.3, 18.4; LRMS (APIMS) m/z 362 (M+NH4)+.
