(S)-4-Benzyl-2-oxazolidinone(CAT: R007914) is a chiral oxazolidinone derivative commonly used as a versatile auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis. Featuring a five-membered ring with both nitrogen and oxygen atoms, it provides a rigid, stereodefined scaffold ideal for controlling stereochemistry in enolate and acylation reactions. The benzyl substituent at the 4-position enhances reactivity and selectivity, making it a valuable intermediate in the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds. This compound is frequently applied in the synthesis of β-lactams, amino acids, and other chiral building blocks.
