The solids were filtered, rinsed with acetonitrile (150 mL) and dried in vacuo. The solid was dissolved in 1.5 L of 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and to it was added 2N aqueous hydrogen chloride solution until ˜pH 9. The resulting precipitate was filtered, rinsed with water (300 mL), and dried in vacuo for 16 hours at 70° C., ˜10 mbar, to afford the title compound in 81% yield, 46.84 g.
