The reaction mixture is partitioned between 100 ml. of water and 100 ml. of ether, the ether solution is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to a thick oil, 6.0 g. This material shows a strong absorption band in the infra-red at 5.75 μ (non-bonded ester) and is homogeneous by thin layer chromatography.
