The mixture is concentrated under vacuum and the residue partitioned between aqueous sodium carbonate and methylene chloride. The combined methylene chloride extracts are extracted with dilute hydrochloric acid which is made basic with sodium hydroxide. The crude base is extracted with methylene chloride and chromatographed on silica gel. Elution with CHCl3 gives fractions containing 2.4 g pure title base which is treated with hydrogen chloride in ethanol-isopropanol to give 2.0 g of the title salt, mp greater than 340° C. with decomposition at 245° C.
