The reaction medium is subsequently stirred at reflux for 48 hours, cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained is poured into a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and extracted twice with dichloromethane. The organic phases are combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained is purified by chromatography on a column of silica gel, elution being carried out with a mixture of chloroform, methanol and aqueous ammonia in the proportions 90/10/1.
