The thick yellow-brown suspension is stirred at 22° C. for 2 hours. The resulting suspension is then introduced into ice-water and the pH is brought to 1 with 2 molar hydrochloric acid. The slurry formed is filtered with suction and the solid is washed thoroughly with cold water and then dried in vacuo at 60° C. 5.97 g of the desired title compound are obtained as a beige solid of melting point 194-196° C.
