After flushing and filling the autoclave with hydrogen, the mixture is hydrogenated at 90° C. and 10 atmospheres for 3 hours. After absorption of 1.5 atmospheres of hydrogen gas, the autoclave is cooled and vented and 200 ml. of CHCl3 is added to the reaction mixture. The catalyst is filtered off, and the solution is evaporated to dryness, giving a solid residue which is suspended in 10% ammonium hydroxide, then extracted with dichloromethane. After drying over Na2SO4, the organic solvent is evaporated off and the residue is crystallized from ethanol giving 4.55 g. of the title product, which melts at 179°-81° C.
