The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and evaporated to remove the solvent. The residue is extracted with ether after addition of some pieces of ice and an 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The extract is washed with water, dried and evaporated to give an oil (3 g). The oil is chromatographed on a column of basic alumina (70 g) and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:1). The eluate is evaporated to give crystals of the title compound (1.34 g) melting at 121°-122° C. Yield: 66%
