The Schlenk tube was sealed with a Teflon valve and the reaction mixture was stirred at 110° C. for 23 h. The resulting pale brown suspension was allowed to reach room temperature and then filtered through a 0.5×1 cm pad of silica gel eluting with 10 mL of ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (2×15 cm, hexane-ethyl acetate 4:1, 15 mL fractions). Fractions 10-17 provided 244 mg (89% yield) of the desired product.
