It was then cooled to ambient temperature, added to water (10 L) and the addition was washed in with water (5 L). The resulting slurry was stirred for 30 minutes and then it was filtered. The filter cake was washed with two portions of water (2×2.5 L) and dried at the pump. The solids were then dried to constant weight under vacuum at 45° C. to yield the title compound as a brown solid (493.1 g, 93.2%). δH (CDCl3) 8.68 (1H, dd, J 4.7, 1.2 Hz), 7.93 (1H, dd, J 8.5, 1.2 Hz), 7.29 (1H, dd, J 8.5, 4.7 Hz), 5.90 (2H, b), 4.38 (2H, q, J 7.0 Hz), 1.40 (3H, t, J 7.0 Hz).
