The mixture was stirred at 50° C.-60° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was then poured into water (2 L) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×1 L). The combined ethyl acetate fractions were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated at reduced pressure. The material was chromatographed on silica gel (1.5 Kg) eluting with 1:1 ethyl acetate/heaxane. The combined pure fractions were concentrated at reduced pressure. The residue was swished with warm ethyl ether, cooled and filtered to give the product.
