After the dropwise addition was completed, the reaction was performed for further 3.5 hours at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into 250 ml of ice water, the organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted twice with 50 ml of methylene chloride. The combined organic phases were washed with a saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution and then with a saturated saline solution, followed by drying over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using hexane to obtain 6.56 g of the aimed product (a mixture of isomers) as a light yellow liquid (yield: 73%). The properties of the product thus obtained are described below.
