After carrying out 20 hours of hydrogenation at a temperature of 100° C. under a hydrogen pressure of 50 kg/cm2, absorption of 4 mols of hydrogen per mol substrate was confirmed. The reaction mixture was cooled to 30° C. to remove the catalyst by filtration, the resulting filtrate was allowed to stand overnight at room temperature and then 30.6 g of the thus precipitated crystals were collected by filtration (yield, 85.7%).
