The reaction mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 2 h then was cooled to 0° C. MeOH (5 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 15 min then was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc:Hexane, 10 to 15%) to yield the title compound (278 mg, 85% yield) as a white solid.
