After cooling the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and water and acidified to pH 1-2. The separated aqueous phase was extracted with 20 ml. ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and vacuum evaporated to a brown oil. Chromatography of this on silica gel eluted with ethyl acetate gave a pale yellow solid; 80 mg., 24%, mp 192°-195° d.
