The mixture was filtered while hot. The filtrate was added to sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic solution was washed with sodium bicarbonate solution and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give 3-[(E)-2-(3-aminophenyl)vinyl]-5-bromopyridine (3.57 g).
