The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 60 minutes. For work-up, the cold reaction mixture was poured into 800 ml of ice-water and acidified with aqueous hydrochloric acid. The crude product was filtered off and dried. This gave 3.68 g (84% of theory) of the title compound as a beige powder.
