The mixture was shaken with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and the organic phase separated, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give a solid which was triturated with hexane/toluene (1:1) to give 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,4-oxathiane 4-oxide (860 mg), as a colourless crystalline solid, m.p. 100°-103° C.;
