The mixture is filtered and the filtrate evaporated to a residue. The residue is partitioned between saturated potassium bicarbonate and chloroform. The organic layer is dried and passed through a pad of hydrous magnesium silicate. The filtrate is evaporated to a residue which is crystallized from ether:ethanol to give 34.9 g of the desired product as a solid, m.p. 108°-110° C.
