The reaction mixture was cooled in ice during the addition and blanketed with nitrogen. When addition was complete (ca. 5 min), stirring was continued at 0° for a further 30 min. Water (200 ml) was then added and the organic phase was separated, washed with 8% sodium bicarbonate (100 ml), dried and concentrated to give the title compound (2.3 g) as a solid, m.p. 115°-118°.
