Oxazole-5-carboxylic acid (CAS# 118994-90-4)

Oxazole-5-carboxylic acid is an organic compound. Oxazole-5-carboxylic acid is soluble in water and organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers.
In agriculture, oxazole-5-carboxylic acid can be used as a synthetic raw material for fungicides and herbicides.

There are several ways to prepare oxazole-5-carboxylic acid. The most common method is obtained by the alkaline hydrolysis reaction of oxazole. Oxazole is reacted with an alkaline solution to form salt, which is then converted to oxazole-5-carboxylic acid by acidification.
Oxazole-5-carboxylic acid may be irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory system, and good ventilation should be maintained during the procedure, and contact with the skin and eyes should be avoided. oxazole-5-carboxylic acid is a flammable substance and should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from fire sources and oxidants.
