Oxazole Usage And Synthesis

Description

Oxazole is the primary compound for a various class of heterocyclic aromatic organic compounds, which include azoles with a nitrogen and an oxygen separated by one carbon. Oxazole is a weak base and an aromatic compound.

Preparation

There are various methods of synthesizing oxazole in organic chemistry including Van Leusen reaction with TosMIC and aldehydes, Robinson-Gabriel preparation by dehydration of 2-acylaminoketones, and Bredereck reaction with formamide. Oxazole result from the oxidation and cyclization of threonine and serine non-ribosomal peptides.

Uses

Oxazole and its derivatives are actively involved as building blocks for bio chemicals and pharmaceuticals like flopristin and darglitazone. It is also involved in industrial applications such as in dyes, fluorescent brightening agents, textile auxiliaries and plastics.

Definition

ChEBI: A five-membered monocyclic heteroarene that is an analogue of cyclopentadiene with O in place of CH2 at position 1 and N in place of CH at position 3.

Definition

oxazole: A heterocyclic compoundhaving a nitrogen atom and an oxygenatom in a five-membered ring,C₃H₃NO.

General Description

Oxazole ring is present in various natural products. The diradical interactions in the ring-opening reaction of oxazole were studied.
