Then the dichloromethane was eliminated using the rotary evaporator and the residue was combined with a saturated solution of sodium chloride and sodium thiosulphate. It was extracted ten times with ethyl acetate, the organic extracts were dried over sodium sulphate and then the solvent was eliminated.
