The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate (100 ml), washed with 1N sodium hydroxide solution (2×25 ml) and washed with brine (25 ml). The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. Purification by column chromatograhy on silica eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane afforded the title compound as a colourless oil (1.2 g).
