Warm to room temperature and stir for 1 hour. Remove solvents, transfer crude of methanesulfonic acid 2-[2-(4-bromo-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazol-4-yl]-ethyl ester residue to a sealed tube, add tetrahydrofuran (30 mL), azetidine (2.0 g, 35.5 mmol), and heat at 60° C. overnight. Wash the crude organic material with 1N HCl. Separate layers and add 5N NaOH to the aqueous layer until it is basic. Extract the aqueous layer with diethyl ether (2×50 mL), dry the organic extracts over Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate. Purify on silica gel eluting with 10% ammoniated methanol in dichloromethane to give 4-(2-azetidin-1-yl-ethyl)-2-(4-bromo-phenyl)-5-methyl-oxazole (1.22 g, 72%): mass spectrum (m/e): 323 (M+1).
