The reaction mixture was stirred at this temperature for 30 min. N,N-Dimethyl-acetamide (2.6 mL, 27.9 mmol) was then added and the mixture allowed to warm to rt over a period of 1 h and stirred at this temperature for 30 min. The reaction was quenched by the addition of sat. aq. NH4Cl (50 mL). The layers were separated and the aq. layer extracted with Et2O (2×50 mL). The combined org. extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by FC (20:1 to 5:1 hept-EA) gave the title compound as a white solid. TLC:rf (1:1 hept-EA)=0.41. LC-MS-conditions 02: tR=0.81 min; [M+H]+=200.61.
