The mixture was boiled under reflux for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature and the solvent removed under vacuum. The residue was partitioned between water and dichloromethane, the organic layer dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to yield a brown oil (0.81 g) which on chromatography on silica-gel in dichloromethane/methanol mixtures gave a waxy solid. Recrystallisation from 50% 40.60 petroleum ether--ether gave a white solid (0.25 g) m.p. 91°-97° C., as a 58:42 mixture of diastereoisomers.
