The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed sequentially with 1N NaOH(aq), water, and brine. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate and hexanes to provide N-(pyridine-2-ylmethoxy)phthalimide (364 mg, 1.44 mmol).
