After cooling the solid reaction cake is extracted with a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (9:1). The extract is concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is extracted with ethyl acetate. This extract is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is eluted through silica gel with a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (4:1) to afford the pure product. Yield 0.67 g (10.6%). M.p. 142-144° C.
