The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (2×5 mL), brine (5 mL), dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified using silica gel column chromatography eluting with EtOAc:hexane 10:90 to afford the title compound as an off-white solid in 49% yield, 210 mg.
