To the reaction mixture, 30% Hydrogen peroxide (1.6 ml) was added and stirred for 1 hour at 0° C. Methanol was distilled under vacuum and the residue was dissolved in Ethylacetate (50 ml), further ethyl acetate layer was washed with water and evaporated to give a crude product, which upon triturating with Hexane give 600 mg title compound as a solid.
