The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours, cooled to 0° C. and DMF (7.3 g) in ether (20 ml) added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and poured in ice water. The product was extracted with ether, washed with water, dried, evaporated and recrystallized from ether. Yield: 4.2 g.
