The mixture is stirred for 1 hour at 65° C., then poured onto 800 g of ice. The pH of the solution is adjusted to 10 by the addition of concentrated ammonium hydroxide. The mixture is extracted with dichloromethane (3×200 mL) and the combined organic extracts are dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting oil is subjected to chromatography on silica gel utilizing 3% methanol in dichloromethane as eluent. The eluates are analyzed utilizing thin layer chromatography and appropriate fractions are combined and evaporated to produce the title compound.
