The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue partitioned between ethyl acteate (100 ml) and water (100 ml). The organic phase was separated, washed with sat. aq. sodium chloride (50 ml), dried (sodium sulfate) and reduced in vacuo. Further purification by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with pentane:ethyl acetate (3:1 changing to 2:1) gave the title compound as a colourless oil (6.50 g).
