The resulting solution was heated to 50° C. for 1 hour. 2M hydrochloric acid (95 ml) was added to the cooled reaction and the solution concentrated. The residue was dissolved in t-butylmethyl ether and the resulting solution washed with water followed by brine and then dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate concentrated to give a brown oil. Further purification by Biotage® chromatography eluting initially with cyclohexane and then cyclohexane:ethyl acetate (5:1) gave the title compound as an orange oil.
