Initially, we stopped the reaction too soon. For optimal results, the reaction time
was extended as indicated. Since the product is only partially soluble in CH2 Cl2 , we originally removed all the solvent from the suspension using a rotary evaporator.
This, however, led to an intractable, dark semi-solid from which the product was difficult
to isolate. Filtration of the product, prior to solvent removal and work-up, instead
led to substantially improved yields.
