The reaction was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate and partially evaporated. The residue was partitioned between chloroform and water. The organic phase was washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried (magnesium sulfate) and evaporated. The residue was crystallized from dichloromethane/isopropyl ether. The solids which precipitated were recrystallized to give the title compound as a colorless electrostatic solid (1.84 g), melting point 184°-185° C. TLC (5% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane) single spot, Rf =0.39.
