After 2 h, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., poured onto ice water (20 mL), and basified to pH 10 with solid K2CO3. The mixture was extracted with CHCl3 (2×250 mL), and the organic phase was washed with water (2×100 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by MPLC on silica gel using a mixture of MeOH and CH2Cl2 as eluent to give the titled compound (6.02 g, 92%) as a light yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 9.11 (dd, 1H, J=1.6, 1.2 Hz), 8.47 (s, 1H), 8.14 (dd, 1H, J=9.2, 1.6 Hz), 8.04 (br d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.88 (dd, 1H, J=9.2, 1.2 Hz), 7.84 (t, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 7.42 (br d, 1H, J=8.0 Hz), 2.49 (s, 3H).
