The resulting aqueous solution is treated with 10% hydrochloric acid and a white precipitate forms. Ethyl acetate is added and the organic phase is separated, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give the title product as an off-white solid (4.98 g, mp 176°-178° C.) which is identified by 1HNMR spectral analysis.
