(R)-(-)-4-Benzyl-3-propionyl-2-oxazolidinone(CAT: R052972) is a chiral oxazolidinone derivative widely used as an enantiomerically pure auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis. Featuring a propionyl group at the 3-position and a benzyl substituent at the 4-position, this compound is highly effective in controlling stereochemistry in aldol, Diels-Alder, and alkylation reactions. Its rigid heterocyclic framework enables predictable diastereoselective outcomes, making it a key tool in complex molecule and natural product synthesis. As part of the Evans chiral auxiliary family, it is particularly valued in academic and pharmaceutical research.
