It is then stirred for one hour, diluted with ice water, and made alkaline with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. After another 30 minutes' stirring, the solid precipitated is suction filtered and washed with water. The crude product is dissolved in ethyl acetate, dried with sodium sulfate, and evaporated down. The oil remaining is combined with petroleum ether, whereupon a solid is precipitated which is filtered off and dried. Yield: 16.3 g (85%); melting point 90° C.-92° C.
