The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, filtered and the filtrate concentrated. The oily residue was chromatographed (400 g silica gel) eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (9:1) to yield a yellow oil. The oil was converted into the HCl salt and recrystallized from methanol/ethyl acetate: mp 267°-269° C.
