Dilution with water was followed by washing with two portions of tert-butyl methyl ether. The combined organic layers were extracted with 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The combined aqueous layers were acidified to pH 2 with 2 M aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and extracted with four portions of tert-butyl methyl ether. The combined organic extracts were dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 2.90 g (100%) of the title compound as an off-white solid.
