The mixture was refluxed for an hour and then poured into 60 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid with 400 g of cracked ice. Resulting crystals deposited out therein were obtained through a filtration, washed with water and dried in vacuo to give 16.0 g (80.0%) of the subject desired compound as yellow crystals.
