Oxazoline is a five-membered heterocyclic organic compound containing one atom of oxygen and nitrogen. It exists between oxazole and oxazolidine in terms of saturation. It was first characterised in 1889 and was named in-line with the Hantzsch–Widman nomenclature. Compounds containing this ring are referred to as oxazolines or oxazolyls and have a variety of chemical uses; particularly as ligands in asymmetric catalysis and as protecting groups for carboxylic acids.
