It was then cooled to room temperature. The toluene layer was washed with water (2×300 ml), 5% sodium bicarbonate solution (3×500 ml) and again with water (2×300 ml), dried over sodium sulfate, and distilled to provide crude 1, which was purified by high vacuum distillation to provide pure 1 (242 grams, 69.8%), which slowly crystallized to white crystals. m.p: 44° C., IH NMR (CDCl3) δ4.16 (s, 2H, CH2), 4.85 (s, 2H, CH2)
