The mixture was stirred for 1 hr at 0° C. and then slowly added solid sodium bicarbonate (60 g) and water (250 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layer was dried with MgSO4. The organic layer was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with n-Hexane/EtOAc=4/1.
