Hello all
sorry for late reply as I was away. Having read both mails, what I noticed is the compound formed may be still in it's hydrochloride salt form and hence water soluble.
Mark how about this one, filter off the KCl formed ( if it is soluble, then evaporate to remove MeOH, t-BuOH under vacuum. now add some polar solvent like EDC or MDC to dissolve organics and now filter off KCl ) and then concentrate to remove solvents.
You can easily check the GC of the residual portion as it will have the raw materials and products ( or can check in presence of solvents before concentration ).
