The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the brown residue was dissolved in water. The solution was chilled to 0° C. by the addition of ice. Glacial acetic acid (ca 33 ml) was added slowly. The buff solid which precipitated was filtered off, washed with water, and dried in vacuo at 70° C. Yield 9.14 g (70%).
