The resulting reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 8 h. After completion (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was filtered (to remove sodium carbonate) and washed with ethyl acetate (1 L×3). The combined filtrate was washed with water (3 L×5) and the aqueous phase was back extracted with ethyl acetate (1 L×3). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a solid (290 g, 97% yield). The isolated compound was taken directly into the next step. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.17 (s, 1H), 7.91 (s, 1H), 3.96 (s, 3H), 2.59 (s, 3H).
