The reaction solution was added to water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was acidified by using 1 N aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the residues obtained after concentration under reduced pressure were purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to obtain the target compound (white solid, 1.10 g, 84%).
