The general method of Example 1 was used except that the temperature after thionyl chloride addition was maintained at 80° C. for 2 hours, and after the esterification reaction the solution was cooled and washed with 0.5M sodium hydroxide, 0.5M hydrochloric acid and water. The solution was treated with activated carbon (2.5% on the expected weight of product) at 50° C. for 1 hour, filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The light brown oil had an estimated purity of 93.4% and was distilled (boiling range 141°-146° C. at 0.03 mm mercury pressure) to provide a product of 99.8% estimated purity.
