Water was added into the reaction solution and the product was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried on magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel (hexane-ethyl acetate 8:1) to obtain 6.30 g (86% yield) of the oily title compound.
