The reaction mixture was capped, and the mixture was stirred for 12 h at 110° C. temperature. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC, 10% EtOAc in hexane), the reaction mixture was quenched with water (50 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×3). The organic layers were combined, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a brown solid which was further purified column chromatography, silica gel (60-120 mesh) using 2-6% EtOAc in petroleum ether as an eluent to obtain the title compound as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 8.30 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.54 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 7.42-7.26 (m, 3H), 7.09 (t, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 5.58 (s, 2H).
