(4S,5R)-(-)-4-Methyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone(CAT: M087155) is a chiral auxiliary compound with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₁NO₂, widely employed in asymmetric synthesis. Featuring a five-membered oxazolidinone ring substituted with a methyl group at the 4-position and a phenyl group at the 5-position, it serves as an effective stereocontrolling element in enolate alkylations, aldol reactions, and Diels-Alder cycloadditions. Its (4S,5R) configuration allows for high stereoselectivity in the formation of chiral centers in target molecules. This compound appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in common organic solvents, and is an essential tool in the synthesis of complex, enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals.
