Using the conc. hydrochloric acid, the reaction solution is adjusted to pH 2.2, for extraction into ethyl acetate. The organic layer is rinsed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to obtain the residue. The residue is recrystallized in ethyl acetate and toluene to obtain PHOG of 2.8 g (11.3 mmol.) in crystal.
