A white precipitate was observed. The reaction mixture was cooled to 50 C. 387 g water were added and the reaction mixture was stirred for about 15 min until it became a clear solution. 109 g 12 M HCl (1.07 mol, 1.5 eq.) were then added dropwise to the reactor in 1 h, a precipitate formed when the 12 M HCl was charged.
