The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the solvent evaporated to give an orange coloured gum. This was dissolved in glacial acetic acid (16 ml), hydrogen bromide (33% w/w in acetic acid, 8.20 ml, 46.76 mmol) added, and the resulting mixture heated to 70° C. for 18 h. The mixture was diluted with water (25 ml) and the product extracted into ethyl acetate (3×25 ml). The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to a yellow gum, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel 60, with 7:3 petrol/ethyl acetate as eluent. This gave a yellow gum, which was dissolved in a minimum of ether and precipitated by adding petrol, to give the title product as a yellow powder.
