To this solution was added acetyl chloride (0.95 ml) under ice-cooling. This mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the obtained residue was recrystallized from methanol-ethyl acetate to give the title compound (2.0 g) as white crystals, m.p.=193.5-194.5° C.
