The mixture is then cooled and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase is then adjusted to pH 2 using 1 M hydrochloric acid and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The latter organic phases are combined, washed with water and saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over sodium sulfate. After filtration, the solvent is removed to dryness. This gives 2.75 g (content 98%, 4.98 mmol, 73% of theory) of the title compound as a colorless solid.
