On cooling to room temperature, the mixture was partitioned between 10% aqueous sodium carbonate (20 ml) and dichloromethane (20 ml). The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (2×10 ml). The combined dichloromethane extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as an oil which crystallised on standing, yield 0.584 g, m.p. 60°-62° C.
