The reaction was cooled to room temperature and ice water (50 mL) was added. EtOAc (50 mL) was added and the organic solution was washed with 5.5% HCl followed by brine. The organic solution was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (hexanes:EtOAc 9:1 to 4:1) provided the title compound (1.95 g). MS 381 (M+18).
