The reaction mixture is refluxed for 24 hours, then cooled to 10° C. and treated carefully with 40 ml of 15% sodium hydroxide solution and finally with 120ml of water. The white precipitate is filtered off, washed with 500 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and the clear filtrate concentrated at 60° C. under vacuum. 37.9 g of slightly yellow-colored crystals are obtained. This-layer chromatography reveals them to be a mixture of at least three substances. To isolate a unitary substance, the batch is dissolved in 500 ml of ether, 2.8 g of insoluble constituents are removed by filtration, and the ethereal solution concentrated to one-third its volume. It is then treated with 35 ml of pentane and cooled to 10° C., white crystals precipitating. After two recrystallizations from ether+pentane, 3.4 g of fine needles are obtained which melt at 107-109° C.
