The reaction mixture was stirring at 23 ° C. for 24 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the crude product was obtained by recrystallization in a cold acetone. The crude product was further purified by chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexanes/EtOAc 2:1 (v/v) to afford 6.34 g of the title compound as a colorless solid (86%).
