The reaction was diluted with water (30 ml) and DCM (30 ml). The DCM layer was separated and washed with water (6×50 ml), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. The residue was columned on silica, eluting (EtOAc/Hexane 0-100%). The first isolated fraction gave (6-chloro-3-phenyl-thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-4-yl)-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-amine (19) as colourless crystals. Yield=288 mg (57.3%). The second isolated fraction gave (4-Chloro-3-phenyl-thieno[2,3-b]pyridin-6-yl)-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-amine (20) as an orange oil. Yield=24mg (4.7%).
