Methanol (1000 ml) was distilled off and the cooled reaction mass was poured onto ice water (3000 ml). Crude 6 was filtered, dried and recrystallised from a mixture of ethyl acetate:hexane (1:5) to give pure 6 (400 g, 89.5%) as a white fluffy powder. The melting point found to be 89.5-92° C. The structure was confirmed with IR and NMR.
