It was cooled, poured into water, filtered and washed well with water to give 11.5 g. This was dissolved in dimethylformamide and chromatographed on a column 6 cm diameter by 125 cm long of alumina (Woelm neutral activity grade 1) using dimethylformamide to elute. A yield of 5.6 g was obtained as the dimethylformamide adduct. A sample was dried by heating under a high vacuum, m.p. 274.5°-276° C.
