The mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is dissolved a mixture of EtOAc-hexane-DCM (1:1:1, 200 mL) and filtered over small pad of silica gel. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gives the crude {(E)-2-[2-(2,6-dimethyl-phenyl)-5-nitro-pyridin-4-yl]vinyl}-dimethyl-amine which is used in the following step.
