Stirred one minute and 400 mL chloroform added. The solution was filtered and the organics partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organics were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (ISCO, 330 g silica cartridge; stepwise elution hexane (5 min) then 7 minute gradient to 100% dicloromethane (20 min) affords the title compound as the most polar of the products as a pale yellow oil (26 g, 97%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 7.16 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.84 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.79 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 3.84 (s, 3H), 3.73 (s, 2H), 3.05-3.01 (m, 2H), 2.55 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.01-1.96 (m, 2H).
