After 10 min, the reaction mixture was heated to 25° C. and then stirred for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and hydrolysed with 2 M HCl. The phases were separated, and the organic phase was washed with water and sat. NaCl solution (in each case 10 ml). Drying over Na2SO4 was then carried out, followed by concentration under reduced pressure. The product was crystallized from ethyl acetate. Yield: 89%
