The reaction mixture was treated with diluted hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained crystals were recrystallized from heptane-ethyl acetate to give the title compound (1.90 g, yield 93%) as colorless crystals.
