After the exotherm had subsided, the reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 18 hours and cooled to room temperature. The heterogenous mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (800 mL) and the resulting homogenous solution was cooled to 0° C. and neutralized to pH 7 by the dropwise addition of 2.5N NaOH (~1L). The layers were separated, the aqueous phase extracted with CH2Cl2 (1×600 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to afford a viscous oil. Purification by filtration through a plug of SiO2 (gradient elution: 1) hexane, 2) 36:1 hexane/EtOAc, 3) 18:1 hexane/EtOAc, 4) 12:1 hexane/EtOAc, 5) 8:1 hexane/EtOAc) afforded the title compound as a light yellow oil (46.6 g, 56%).
