The mixture was heated at 65° C. for a further 20 minutes and then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was poured into saturated brine (50 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×20 ml). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane gave the title compound (520 mg, 70%) as an off-white solid.
