A high exothermicity is noted. The reaction mixture is heated under reflux for 3 hours. 10 ml of water are added. The reaction mixture diluted in this manner is filtered hot to remove the catalyst. The expected product precipitates from the filtrate as it cools. It is filtered off, washed with water and then dried under vacuum in the presence of phosphorus pentoxide. Recrystallized from ethyl acetate, it melts at 90° C.
