Then the reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 18 h. After the reaction was deemed complete by TLC, the reaction mixture was cooled to 25° C. and filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude compound was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 100-200 mesh; eluting with 25-30% EtOAc in n-Hexane) to afford the title compound as a solid (2.0 g, 72%): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.86 (m, 1H), 7.27 (m, 2H), 6.68 (dd, J=17.6, 10.8 Hz, 1H), 5.84 (d, J=17.6 Hz, 1H), 5.39 (d, J=10.8 Hz, 1H), 4.39 (m, 2H), 2.60 (s, 3H), 1.40 (m, 3H); ESIMS m/z 191.10 ([M−H]−); IR (thin film) 2980, 1716, 1257 cm−1.
