The mixture is stirred at reflux for 3 hours, then cooled and added to 700 mL of water. The mixture is heated on a hot plate until nearly one phase and filtered hot. The warm filtrate is immediately treated with 50 mL of 4.0N HCl. After cooling to room temperature, followed by 1 hour in an ice bath, the precipitated solid is filtered and washed with 25% methanol in water to give 4.2 g (88%) of product suitable for further synthesis. A sample recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane has mp 136° C.-dec.
