The resulting mixture was cooled and filtered under suction over celite bed. The residue was washed with additional ethyl acetate (200 ml). The combined filtrates were concentrated to 500 ml volume.
To the above ethyl acetate solution was added Triethyl amine (19.1 g, 0.189 mol), and acetic anhydride (16.1 g, 1.58 mol) in a single lot in few minutes). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h at R.T. The resulting mixture was cooled to 0-5° C., stirred for 0.5 h and filtered under suction. The residue was washed with cold ethyl acetate (100 ml) and dried at 70° C. under reduced pressure to obtain the product as a a off-white solid, 43.5 g, in 84% yield over two steps.
