The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a gum as residue. Methylene chloride was added to the residue and the gum crystallized. The mixture was diluted with petroleum ether and the solid was collected by filtration, washed with petroleum ether, and dried to yield 22 g (92%) of white solid which was recrystallized from isopropyl ether-2-propanol, m.p. 159.5°-160.5° C.
