Bromine (97.5 g) was added over 40 minutes at 25°-32° C. (occasional water cooling being applied) and the mixture stirred for 2 hours at about 25° C. Water (200 ml) was added and the dichloromethane layer washed with water (100 ml). The aqueous phases were combined and extracted into dichloromethane (2×100 ml). The dichloromethane extracts were combined and the solvent distilled off and replaced with ethyl acetate to keep temperature of 72° C. (750 ml ethyl acetate added; 90 ml distillate collected). The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The product was washed with 100 ml ethyl acetate and dried to give the title compound (134.3 g) as a crystalline fawn powder, m.p. 184°-189° C. Identical to product of Example 4.
