A solution of 14.4 g of sodium hydroxide in 200 ml of water was added to the above ethanolic solution and the mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated in vacuo, 1 liter of ice water was added to the residue, the mixture was neutralized with 10% hydrochloric acid, crystals separated out therefrom were collected by filtration, washed with water, dried and recrystallized from ethanol to give 80.5 g (yield: 82%) of crystalline product. M.p. 202°-203° C.
