This review compiles green synthetic methods intended for the synthesis of oxazole derivatives. Oxazoles are a class of compounds with a wide range of biological activities. The application and biological activity of oxazoles is highly dependent on their structure. Now-a-days, scientists have been performing the synthesis of oxazole derivatives. High demands in synthesis often result in the production of various hazardous chemical substances. So, to minimize the production of toxic chemical substances, green synthetic approaches are used in this manner. Green synthesis covers different synthetic approaches, including the application of microwave techniques, ultrasound, ionic liquids, deep-eutectic solvents, the use of catalysts and continuous flow synthesis. In this review, the authors mentioned that not only these green synthetic approaches reduce the formation and utilisation of toxic chemicals, but there is an increase in the reaction performance that enhances the product yields, purity, post-synthetic processes and energy consumption when compared to conventional methods. Due to the biological and pharmacological significance of oxazoles and the demands of decreasing toxic solvents, catalysts, and energy consumption, this article gives a full literature survey on the significance of green synthetic methods in oxazole synthesis. It contains a literature survey over the period from 2010-2020. The emphasis of this article is its comprehensive literature survey on oxazole, which is helpful for the researchers working on the oxazole scaffold and gaining information on the green synthetic approaches to their synthesis.
