Sodium bicarbonate (0.155 g, 0.0018 mol) was added to maintain pH7-8 and the reaction continued a further 5 h. After cooling, the catalyst was filtered off, washed with water and the filtrate acidified with 4N HCl. Extraction with ether (x3), drying and evaporating left a white solid. The catalyst was washed again with water and the above procedure repeated to yield further solid. The whole was recrystallised from ethanol/water to give the title product as white crystals m.p. 148°-150° C.
