The reaction mixture is mixed with water, sufficient 10% sulphuric acid is added thereto just to dissolve the precipitate, extracted with diethyl ether, evaporated to dryness and the remaining oil purified by column chromatography (silica gel; dichloromethane/methanol 99:1 v/v). The appropriate fractions are evaporated to dryness in a vacuum, the residue is first recrystallised from ethyl acetate/ligroin (1:1 v/v) and then from toluene to give 0.6 g. (31% of theory) of the title compound; m.p. 136°-142° C.
