The cooled mixture was poured into water (300 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×250 ml) then the combined extracts were washed with saturated brine and evaporated. The residual brown oil was azeotroped with ethanol/water then toluene. The residue was chromatographed with hexane-DE (100:0 to 95:5) to give the title compound (3.25 g) as a bright orange solid, m.p.58°-9°.
