The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resultant mixture partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was separated, washed with water, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to a purple solid. Purification by flash column chromatography with cyclohexane:ethyl acetate as (6:1) as eluant gave the title compound as a yellow crystalline solid (3.869, 84%).
