The reaction mixture is heated at reflux (100° C.) for 9 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture is added to a solution of 9 mL of hydrochloric acid 37% in 24 g of ice. The solution is extracted twice with dichloromethane. The organic phases are collected and the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure to yield 0.82 g of a red-brown oil which crystallises.
