When addition of the Grignard reagent was complete, the reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirring was continued for 17 hr. The solution was treated with 200 ml. 10% hydrochloric acid, the layers were separated, and the aqueous phase was washed twice with 100 ml. portions of ether. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to a colorless liquid. Distillation of the crude product yielded the title compound.
