After 3 hours, the mixture is washed twice with dichloromethane and then rendered acidic with excess concentrated hydrochloric acid while cooling with an ice-bath. The resulting slurry is filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo. 318 g of the desired product are obtained in the form of a white solid having a melting point of 135° C. (decomposition).
