The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was solved in methylene chloride and washed with water. The organic layer was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using ethylacetate:petroleum ether(40-60) 1:1 as eluent. Crystallization from petroleum ether gave 0.42 g (50%) of the title compound.
