The mixture was cooled and concentrated in vacuo. The concentrated mixture was diluted with water, neutralised with aqueous NaOH and extracted with EtOAc (x3). The organic extracts were evaporated onto silica gel. Gradient chromatography, eluting with 10-50% EtOAc:c-Hex, gave 2,5-dichloro-N-methylpyridin-4-amine (0.114 g, 0.699 mmol, 18% yield).
