Observe a moderate exotherm during the addition, and maintain the internal reaction temperature between 15-25° C. Confirm that the starting ester is completely consumed by HPLC, and cool the reactor contents to 0-3° C. Add the contents from the reaction vessel slowly to a separate reactor cooled to 0-5° C. containing hydrochloric acid (203 moles; 16.67 L; 20.0 kg) and water (81.0 L, 81.0 kg), and observe gas evolution. Separate the layers and extract the aqueous phase once with tert-butyl methyl ether (59.5 L; 44.0 kg). Combine the organic layers and wash with a 20% sodium chloride solution (189.3 moles; 46.5 L; 55.3 kg). Filter the organic solution, concentrate to approximately 1 volume, and dilute with acetonitrile (31.8 L; 25.0 kg). Concentrate the solution to approximately 1 volume to provide the titled compound as a technical grade oil (7.9 kg; 84.4%, based on HPLC) in acetonitrile. Use the crude material as a solution in acetonitrile without further purification. A pure sample of the product can be obtained by following the procedure given below.
