After 1 h the mixture is heated to 20° C. and stirred for 16 h. Water is added until the development of gas has ended. Then the mixture is extracted twice with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, dried and freed from the solvent in vacuo.
