After cooling to RT, the mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, then dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, gradient 0-35% DCM in cyclohexane) affording (2-Methyl-6-nitrophenyl)phenylamine as a red solid (981 mg, 93%).
