After cooling, the mixture was poured into ice-water, to which hexane was added. Precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, and dissolved in chloroform-methanol (4:1). After drying and condensing, the resultant residue was washed with chloroform to obtain 12.22 g of the title compound as pale brown crystals (85.3%).
