The molecular structure of the product was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of the title compound where obtained from a saturated solution in a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate and belong to the monoclinic space group P2 1 with unit cell parameters a = 9.8152(2) £¿, b = 9.6305(2) £¿, c = 9.8465(2) £¿, ¦Â = 116.785(1)¡ã.
