The solution was cooled to ambient temperature and the m-xylene removed under reduced pressure. The solid was dissolved in water (100 ml) and the organics extracted into ethyl acetate (3×50 ml). The organic fractions were pooled, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure.
