The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 6 by addition of 4N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to precipitate crystals, which were collected by filtration. The crystals were dissolved in ethyl acetate-methanol (1:4), and the insoluble was filtered off. The filtrated was concentrated and recrystallized from ethyl acetate-methanol-hexane to give the titled compound (6.53 g) as colorless needle crystals.
