Oxazole, 5-methyl-

Description:

5-Methyloxazole is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by a five-membered ring containing both nitrogen and oxygen atoms. It features a methyl group attached to the oxazole ring, which contributes to its chemical properties and reactivity. The compound is typically colorless to pale yellow and may have a distinct odor. 5-Methyloxazole is known for its role in various chemical reactions, particularly in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to participate in electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions. Its structure allows for resonance stabilization, which can influence its reactivity and interaction with other chemical species. Additionally, 5-methyloxazole may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many heterocycles, its solubility and stability can vary depending on the solvent and environmental conditions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.

5-Methyl-1,3-oxazole

CAS: 66333-88-8

5-Methyl-1,3-oxazole (5MOX) is a chiral molecule that belongs to the class of polyatomic compounds. It has an aldehyde functional group and is used as a precursor for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. 5MOX can be accessed through dehydration of ethyl acetate or benzene. The compound crystallizes in a different form depending on the temperature at which it is cooled. At room temperature, it forms crystals similar to those of covid-19 pandemic, while at higher temperatures it forms crystals with methyl groups on one side. 5MOX has been shown to inhibit neprilysin, an enzyme that degrades amyloid beta peptide in Alzheimer’s disease patients and mice models. This property makes 5MOX an attractive candidate for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
