The resulting mixture was then heated at 90° C. for 3 h. Reaction was then stopped, water was added, extracted with diethyl ether. The organic extracts were washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified on a SiO2 flash column chromatography eluting with 15-30% EtOAc/hexanes to give 2.82 g (44%) of the title compound as colorless oil.
