The mixture was washed with acetic acid (0.126 ml) in water (20 ml) three times, the aqueous extracts combined and the pH adjusted to 9 with 8% aqueous potassium carbonate. The oily suspension was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×125 ml), the combined extracts dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated to dryness to give the title compound (4 g) as a yellow oil.
