Oxazole
Oxazole is the parent compound for a vast class of heterocyclic aromatic organic compounds. These are azoles with an oxygen and a nitrogen separated by one carbon.[4] Oxazoles are aromatic compounds but less so than the thiazoles. Oxazole is a weak base; its conjugate acid has a pKa of 0.8, compared to 7 for imidazole.

Preparation
Classical oxazole synthetic methods in organic chemistry are
- the Robinson–Gabriel synthesis by dehydration of 2-acylaminoketones
- the Fischer oxazole synthesis from cyanohydrins and aldehydes
- the Bredereck reaction with α-haloketones and formamide
- the Van Leusen reaction with aldehydes and TosMIC
Other methods:
- Oxazolines can also be obtained from cycloisomerization of certain propargyl amides. In one study[5] oxazoles were prepared via a one-pot synthesis consisting of the condensation of propargyl amine and benzoyl chloride to the amide, followed by a Sonogashira coupling of the terminal alkyne end with another equivalent of benzoylchloride, and concluding with p-toluenesulfonic acid catalyzed cycloisomerization:
- In one reported oxazole synthesis the reactants are a nitro-substituted benzoyl chloride and an isonitrile:[6][7]
Biosynthesis
In biomolecules, oxazoles result from the cyclization and oxidation of serine or threonine nonribosomal peptides:
Where X = H, CH
3 for serine and threonine respectively, B = base.
(1) Enzymatic cyclization. (2) Elimination. (3) [O] = enzymatic oxidation.
Oxazoles are not as abundant in biomolecules as the related thiazoles with oxygen replaced by a sulfur atom.
Reactions
With a pKa of 0.8 for the conjugate acid, oxazoles are far less basic than imidazoles (pKa = 7).[8]
- Deprotonation of oxazoles at C2 is often accompanied by ring-opening to the isonitrile.
- Electrophilic aromatic substitution takes place at C5 requiring activating groups.
- Nucleophilic aromatic substitution takes place with leaving groups at C2.
- Diels–Alder reactions with oxazole dienes can be followed by loss of oxygen to form pyridines.
- The Cornforth rearrangement of 4-acyloxazoles is a thermal rearrangement reaction with the organic acyl residue and the C5 substituent changing positions.
- Various oxidation reactions. One study[9] reports on the oxidation of 4,5-diphenyloxazole with 3 equivalents of CAN to the corresponding imide and benzoic acid:
- In the balanced half-reaction three equivalents of water are consumed for each equivalent of oxazoline, generating 4 protons and 4 electrons (the latter derived from CeIV).
Use of an oxazole in the synthesis of a precursor to pyridoxine, which is converted to vitamin B6.[10]
