The stirred suspension was heated to 80° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water, 10% NaOH, 10% HCl, brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified on silica gel using a 5% EtOAc to 25% EtOAc in hexane gradient (yield 396 mg). LC-MS (C19H18N2O calculated 290) m/z 291 (M+H).
