Certainly! To classify the provided list of candidate chemical substances, I’ll organize them by **NO MORE THAN THREE GROUPS** according to **quantitative physicochemical property data that would be found in a typical database**.

## 1. **Summary of Relevant Quantitative Properties:**

Below are the physicochemical parameters that are *standard, quantifiable*, and most discriminating for the heterocycles and substituted aromatic compounds in your list:

- **pKa (acidity/basicity):** Key for grouping by protonation state/acidified nature.
- **LogP (octanol-water partition coefficient):** Indicates polarity/lipophilicity.
- **Hydrogen bond donor/acceptor count:** Indicates ability to participate in intermolecular interactions.
- **Boiling point:** Indicates volatility (but less variable for aromatics of this size).
- **Number/nature of functional groups:** Can quantify substituent effects (polar, aromatic, ester, etc.).

### Property of Core Scaffolds:
- **1,2-oxazole/benzoxazole core:** Weakly basic/neutral aromatic heterocycles, very low basicity (pKa of ring N << 1), logP depends on substitution, 0-1 H-bond donors and 2-4 acceptors typically.

## 2. **Mapping Database-Style Data to Candidate Substances:**

Based on standard datasets (e.g., ChemSpider, PubChem, DrugBank), here is how the compounds split by substituents:

### GROUP 1: **Simple (Unsubstituted or Alkyl/Aryl) 1,2-oxazoles and Benzoxazoles**
- Quantitative Indicator: **No carboxylic acid or ester functional group**; pKa ~ >11 (not acidic), logP moderate (typ. 1.5–2.5 for phenyl, methyl/alkyl substitutions).
- **Examples:**  
   - '1,2-benzoxazole', '2,1-benzoxazole'
   - '3,5-dimethyl-1,2-oxazole', '3-methyl-1,2-oxazole'
   - '3-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-oxazole', '3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole', '4-phenyl-1,2-oxazole'
   - '5-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-1,2-oxazole'
   - '5-methyl-1,2-oxazole', '5-phenyl-1,2-oxazole'
   - '5-methyl-3-pyrrol-1-yl-1,2-oxazole'

### GROUP 2: **Compounds with Carboxylate (Ester) Functional Groups**
- Quantitative Indicator: **Presence of -COOEt or -COOMe;** increases polarity, increases H-bond acceptors by 2, substantially lowers logP, may slightly lower ring pKa (by -I effect of ester).
- **Examples:**
   - 'ethyl 1,2-oxazole-3-carboxylate', 'ethyl 1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylate'
   - 'ethyl 3-methoxy-1,2-oxazole-5-carboxylate', 'ethyl 3-methyl-1,2-oxazole-5-carboxylate'
   - 'ethyl 5-methyl-1,2-oxazole-3-carboxylate', 'ethyl 5-methyl-1,2-oxazole-4-carboxylate'
   - 'methyl 1,2-oxazole-5-carboxylate', 'methyl 5-(furan-2-yl)-1,2-oxazole-3-carboxylate'
   - 'methyl 5-thiophen-2-yl-1,2-oxazole-3-carboxylate'

### GROUP 3: **Highly Substituted/Bis(Aromatic) and Bridge-Linked Heterocycles**
- Quantitative Indicator: **Multiple aromatic rings, presence of benzyl/phenyl/other heterocyclic linkages; highest logP, highest molecular weight, lowest aqueous solubility.**
- **Examples:**  
   - 'c1ccc(CN(Cc2ccccc2)c2ccno2)cc1'
   - 'c1ccc(CN(Cc2ccccc2)c2ccon2)cc1'

**All these features (logP, H-bond acceptors, etc.) are directly measured, e.g., from ChemAxon/DrugBank/ACD/Labs or estimated from SMILES computationally.**

## **Final Groupings:**

| **Group** | **Description**                        | **Key Quantitative Data**                                 | **Members**                                                                                   |
|-----------|----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1         | Simple oxazoles/benzoxazoles (alkyl, aryl, etc.) | Ring pKa << 1, logP 1-3, H-bond acceptors 2-4            | 1,2-benzoxazole, 2,1-benzoxazole, 3,5-dimethyl-1,2-oxazole, 3-methyl-1,2-oxazole, etc.         |
| 2         | Carboxylate (ester) substituted 1,2-oxazoles     | H-bond acceptors 4-6, often logP < 1, MW +72–100 g/mol    | All 'ethyl...' and 'methyl...' carboxylate derivatives                                        |
| 3         | Bis-aromatic/bridge-linked heterocycles          | MW > 250, logP > 4, H-bond acceptors varies (typically 4) | c1ccc(CN(Cc2ccccc2)c2ccno2)cc1, c1ccc(CN(Cc2ccccc2)c2ccon2)cc1                                |

## **Justification**

- **If forced to subdivide into fewer than 3:** These three classes reflect *quantitative, database-like* differences in polarity, molecular weight, and functional group-based properties.
- **If only one class were possible:** Only if all had nearly identical logP, pKa, and functional group counts (not true here by the above criteria).
- **Each substance is classified strictly;** ambiguous cases are not present.
