The catalyst was filtered off, and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was poured into a mixture of ethyl acetate and aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave 3-isobutylphenylamine (3.98 g) as a brown oil.
