The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 minutes and then quenched with DMF (0.43 ml, 5.53 mmol). It was gradually warmed to room temperature, stirred for further 30 minutes, diluted with Et2O (30 ml), then neutralised with 1N HCl. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine (20 ml), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by chromatography on silica gel eluting with DCM afforded 5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-oxazole-2-carbaldehyde (0.58 g, 60%): δH (360 MHz, CDCl3) 7.18 (2H, t, J 8.6 ), 7.58 (1H, s), 7.77-7.81 (2H, m), 9.76 (1H, s); m/z (ES+) 192 (MH+).
