The reaction mixture was added with water, and extracted with chloroform. The organic layers were combined, washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=8:1) to obtain N-(cyclopentylmethyl)-N-ethyl-6-methoxy-2-[(methoxymethoxy)methyl]pyridin-3-amine (8.39 g, 86%) as pale yellow oil.
