After a period of 1 h at 50° C., the reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated ammonium chloride. The organic phase was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (15% ethyl acetate in hexane) to provide the title compound as a white solid.
