The mixture was stirred for 1 h at 0° C. and then for 18 h at 20° C. Ice and hydrochloric acid were added to thereaction mixture. Nitrobenzene layer was separated and to this ethyl acetate was added whereupon the product crystallized. After filtering the crystals were washed with ethyl acetate. Yield 42.3 g (64%).
