The solution is evaporated, dimethylformamide (40 mL) is added followed by hexyl iodide (35.0 mmol). After 2 days the solvent is removed and the residue is partitioned between ethyl acetate and pH=4 buffer. The organic layer is separated, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to 8.6 g of a brown solid. Recrystallization from ethanol/water affords 6.23 g (62%) of white crystals, m.p. 65°-67° C.
