The solution was diluted with iced water, made basic with ammonium hydroxide, evaporated to 100 ml and extracted with ethyl acetate. After evaporation of the solvent the residue was chromatographed in silica gel and on elution with 97:3 dichloromethane:methanol, 5 g of the title compound was isolated, m.p. 172 to 174° C. from acetone.
