The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate, after which it was washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate; the organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate; the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=15/1 to 9/1) to yield the desired product.
