1 definition found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Azole \Az"ole\, n. [From {Azote}.] (Org. Chem.) Any of a large class of compounds characterized by a five-membered ring which contains an atom of nitrogen and at least one other noncarbon atom (nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur). The prefixes furo-, thio, and pyrro- are used to distinguish three subclasses of azoles, which may be regarded as derived respectively from furfuran, thiophene, and pyrrol by replacement of the {CH} group by nitrogen; as furo-monazole. Names exactly analogous to those for the azines are also used as oxazole diazole etc
