The mixture was stirred and refluxed for 1.5 hr. and then poured into a liter of water at 50° to 80° C. (caution: evolution of copious quantities of H2S). The mixture was allowed to cool to 20° to 22° C. (room temperature), filtered and the filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with 1N aqueous HCl solution, brine, a saturated solution of sodium carbonate and brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol-water (4:1) to give the title compound; mp 85°-86° C.; NMR (CDCl3) δ 3.0 (s, 3H), 3.85 (s, 3H), 4.58 & 5.37 (2d, J=17, 2H), 7.1-8.3 (m, 6H); UVλmax (EtOH) 281 nm (ε14,480), 218 (14,480).
