The mixture was diluted with 75 ml water and washed twice with diethyl ether. The aqueous layer was acidified to about pH 2 with 1 N NaHSO4, and the resulting slurry extracted twice with 100 ml portions of EtOAc. The combined EtOAc layers were washed with brine, dried, then concentrated in vacuo to afford 2.1 g (91%) of the title acid as a brittle white foam.
