The mixture is stirred overnight, and 9.5 ml of water, 9.5 ml of 15% strength sodium hydroxide solution and 28.4 ml of water are then added dropwise in succession, while cooling. The organic phase is decanted and evaporated. The residue is recrystallised twice from methylene chloride/petroleum ether.
