The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, basified with saturated NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude title compound as an off-white solid (800 mg) which was used in the next step without purification.
