Procedure

5-Acetyl-4-methyloxazole (4 g) in dry diethylether was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2-lithiofuran (1 equivalent) in diethylether at -20° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was then left overnight. Work-up and flash chromatography then gave the title compound as a white solid, m.p. 73°-75° C.
