The mixture was acidified with 1N HCl aq. and extracted with ethyl acetate. After evaporation the residue was purified by preparative HPLC on reversed phase eluting with a gradient formed from acetonitrile/water/HCOOH. The combined product fractions were evaporated to yield 237 mg (66%) of the title compound as white solid. MS (ISP): 274 (M−H).
