After 72 hours, ethyl acetate (80 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (40 mL) are added and phases are separated. The organic layer is washed with water (3×40 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The resulting residue is purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with a gradient of 0-60% ethyl acetate in heptane to afford (2-bromo-pyridin-4-yl)-acetonitrile (ES+ m/z 197.41; 199.40).
