The reaction temperature was increased to 120° C. for 3 hr and then to 150° C. for 2 hr. The stirred mixture was cooled to 115° C. and 100 ml of hot toluene was added. The cooled mixture (room temperature) was filtered. The filtrate was washed with 75 ml of 5% sodium hydroxide solution, 50 ml of water and 30 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate-isopropyl ether to give 43 g (56.4%) solid. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-isopropyl ether gave 18.26 g* of bright-yellow solid, m.p. 138'-140° C.
