The reaction was heated to 50° C. for 72 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The residue was diluted with water and the pH was adjusted to 4 with 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The resulting precipitate was filtered off, rinsed with water, and dried under vacuum to provide the title compound (500 mg, 37%) as a tan solid. +ESI (M+H) 188.2.
