Ethyl 2-iodooxazole-4-carboxylate is a synthetic compound that is used in marine sponges for biological studies. It is also a useful synthetic intermediate for the synthesis of heterocycles and natural products. The compound has been shown to have antibacterial activity against Chromophora fragilis, a marine bacterium that causes cotton effect in the cotton industry. Ethyl 2-iodooxazole-4-carboxylate has been shown to be effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as Dictyoclostridium erythraeum and Dysidea herbacea, which are responsible for acylation reactions.
