The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes and then poured into iced water. The resulting precipitate was extracted into ethyl acetate and the extracts were combined, dried and evaporated, yielding the product as a white solid (1.2 g, 100% yield), m.p. 272°-274° C. after recrystallization from ethyl acetate. NMR (DMSO-d6, 250 MHz): 8.4 (m, 2H), 8.16 (d, 1H, J=2 Hz), 8.05 (multiplets, 1H), 7.9 (multiplets, 1H), 7.66 (m, 2H), 3.4 (br s, 1H).
