After being flushed with N2, the resulting mixture was heated at 110° C. overnight, cooled to room temperature, filtered through celite and concentrated under reduced pressure to give an oil. This oil was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 30-50% EtOAc/heptane to give the titled compound as a light yellow foam (2.0 g, 77%).
