Methyl 6-bromo-2,3-dihydro-2-methylimidazo[2,1-b]oxazole-5-carboxylate

G. A. Kraus, P. K. Choudhury and A. Ellern

Abstract: The title novel oxazole derivative, C₈H₉N₂O₃Br, is formed by displacement of one of the Br atoms in 5,6-dibromo-2,3-dihydro-2-methylimidazo[2,1-b]oxazole using metalation followed by reaction with methylcyanoformate. The cyclic moiety in the molecule is slightly bent from a planar configuration. The shortened distance between the Br atom and oxygen of the carbonyl group of a neighboring molecule is the only significant intermolecular interaction.
