Abstract

5-Nitro-2-(p-fluorophenyl)benzoxazole was prepared by heating 2-hydroxy-5-nitro aniline with p-fluorobenzoic acid in polyphosphoric acid. The FT-IR spectrum is recorded and analysed. The vibrational frequencies and corresponding vibrational assignments are examined theoretically using the Gaussian03 set of quantum chemistry codes. Predicted infrared and Raman intensities are reported.
