To the reaction mixture is added concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.108 L) at the same temperature to adjust pH=1. The mixture is stirred under ice cooling for one hour, and the precipitated crystals are separated by filtration. The resulting crystals are washed with water and dried at around 60° C. to give the crude product (125.5 g, yield 85.6%). A part of this crude product (20 g) is recrystallized from methanol (340 mL) and dried at 60° C. to give the desired product (12.1 g, yield 60.5%, purity by HPLC 99.7%).
