OtherCpds =oxazole indole benzofuran Benzoxazole is an
aromatic organic compound with a molecular formula C7H5NO, abenzene -fusedoxazole ring structure, and an odor similar topyridine . Benzoxazole is used primarily in industry and research, and has no household use.Being a
heterocyclic compound, benzoxazole finds use in research as a starting material for the synthesis of larger, usually bioactive structures. It is found within the chemical structures of pharmaceutical drugs such asflunoxaprofen .Its
aromaticity makes it relatively stable, although as a heterocycle, it has reactive sites which allow for functionalization.ee also
