The resulting mixture was poured into water (100 mL) causing the formation of a precipitate which was collected by filtration and washed with additional water before drying overnight in vacuo. The resulting solid was purified with silica gel flash chromatography (0-60% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford 5-chloro-2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-oxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (2.0 g, 7.67 mmol, 59.1% yield) which was used in subsequent reactions without further purification. ES MS (M+H+)=261.
