The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue was purified by chromatography (silica, 0 to 30% MeOH in DCM) to yield (5,6-dichloro-pyridin-2-yl)-(2-propyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-methanone (0.167 g, 0.522 mmol, 72%) as a yellow solid and as a monohydrochloride salt, MS=287 [M+H]+.
