After purging with nitrogen, the reaction mixture was suction filtered through a pad of Celite. The solvent was removed from the filtrate by evaporation. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with methylene chloride/ethyl acetate (30:1), to afford the pure product 57 (4.6 g, 87%) as an oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.51 (m, 2H), 1.65 (m, 2H), 2.69 (t, 2H), 3.14 (m, 2H), 4.52 (br s, 1H), 7.27 (d, 2H), 7.56 (d, 2H).
