Oxazole
Encyclopedia : O : OX : OXA : Oxazole
Oxazole is the parent compound for vast class of heteroaromatic compounds. These are azoles with an oxygen and a nitrogen separated by one carbon. In natural products, oxazoles result from the cyclization and oxidation of serine or threonine nonribosomal peptides.
A "oxadiazole" has two nitrogens instead of one.
