Then to the mixture was added 2-methylbenzene-1,3-diol (5.0 g) in several portions at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. The mixture was warmed to room temperature for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was poured into water under stirring at 0° C. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water to give the title compound (8.58 g).
