The reaction mixture was diluted with 10% sodium hydroxide solution and ethyl acetate. The layers were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was taken up in toluene and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (180:19:1 dichloromethane/methanol/ammonium hydroxide). The appropriate fractions were collected and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in absolute ethanol and treated with ethereal hydrogen chloride. Diethyl ether was added. The precipitate was collected and recrystallized from absolute ethanol/ether to give 1.4 g (37%) of product, mp 181°-184° C. (dec).
