The reaction mixture was poured on ice and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, acidified to pH 5-6 with concentrated HCl and thoroughly extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and the residue dried in vacuo. Yield: 72.7 g of 4-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1-methyl-3-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-1,8-diaza-spiro[4.5]dec-3-en-2-one (title compound P2.2) as a solid.
