The reaction mixture is poured into water, and the product is extracted with petroleum ether. The organic phase is dried over Na2SO4, evaporated, and the residue is filtered through a short silica gel column using petroleum ether as eluent. The product is recrystallized from acetonitrile. Colourless crystals are obtained. m.p.: 104° C., c.p.: 20° C. (extrapolated), Δn =0.093, viscosity: 17
