The mixture was cooled and concentrated in vacuo. The concentrated mixture was diluted with water, neutralised with aqueous NaOH and extracted with EtOAc (×3). The organic extracts were evaporated onto silica gel. Gradient chromatography, eluting with 10-50% EtOAc:c-Hex, gave 2,5-dichloro-N-methylpyridin-4-amine (0.114 g, 0.699 mmol, 18% yield).
