4-Methyloxazole

Description:

4-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 carbon adjacent to the nitrogen atom in the oxazole ring. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow in appearance and is known for its distinctive aromatic properties. 4-Methyloxazole is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but its solubility in water is limited. It exhibits a range of chemical reactivity due to the presence of the nitrogen atom, which can participate in various reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions. This compound is of interest in the fields of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as it can serve as a building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial properties. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.

4-Methyloxazole

CAS: 693-93-6

4-Methyloxazole is a reactive compound that has been used in the synthesis of vitamins, ligands, and other organic chemicals. It can be prepared by formylation of nitroethane with formic acid, followed by oxidation with potassium permanganate. When heated to 300°C, 4-methyloxazole decomposes to form nitrogen gas and water vapor. 4-Methyloxazole is a ligand for several metal ions including platinum and palladium. The stability of 4-methyloxazole decreases as the number of methyl groups increases. This property makes it an excellent ligand for complex formation with metals such as zirconium oxide or imidazole derivatives.
