Heating was continued until the mixture reached 140° at which point the product solidified. Ice, EtOAc and sat aq NaHCO3 were added. The aqueous layer was then back extracted with EtOAc/THF (3:1). Pooled organics were dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated, and purified on silica gel to afford 250 mg (10% yield) of 2-bromo-5-(2-pyridin-2-yl-1,3-oxazole-4-yl)pyridine. LC/MS: m/e 302.0 (M+H).
