The reaction was next stirred for 4 h at room temperature. At which point the contents of the reaction flask were partitioned between ethyl acetate (25 ml) and sodium hydrogencarbonate (25 ml). The organic phase was separated and the solvent removed in vacuo. The crude residue was suspended between methanol (25 ml) and distilled water (25 ml), the precipitate collected and dried (MgSO4) to afford the title compound as a white solid.
