After the completion of addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3-4 hours. The reaction mixture was neutralized with NaOH (20% aq. soln.) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 ml). The combined ethyl acetate extract was washed with water (2×50 ml), brine (1×30 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent evaporated off. The crude product so obtained was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using ethyl acetate hexane (80:10) as eluent to give 2.1 g (66.24%) of the title compound.
