The phases are separated. The aqueous phase is acidified to pH 3 with concentrated HCl, stirred at pH 3 for 10-15 min., and filtered. The aqueous filtrate is extracted with methylene chloride. The filtercake is dispersed in methylene chloride and the dispersion is filtered. The methylene chloride extracts and the methylene chloride filtrate are combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to dryness in vacuo to give the title product as a white solid, 47.3 g, 68.6% yield, 98.1% pure, 97% R isomer by quantitative NMR analysis.
