(S)-(-)-4-Isopropyl-2-oxazolidinone（Cat No.:R005808）is a chiral five-membered heterocyclic compound containing an oxazolidinone ring substituted with an isopropyl group at the 4-position. As an enantiomerically pure auxiliary, it is widely used in asymmetric synthesis, particularly for controlling stereochemistry in reactions such as aldol condensations and Diels–Alder cycloadditions. The (S)-configuration provides predictable stereoselectivity when forming new carbon–carbon bonds. Its cyclic structure offers rigidity and excellent chiral induction, making it valuable in pharmaceutical development and natural product synthesis. The compound is also easily removed after reaction, allowing efficient recovery of target molecules.
