Description:(4S,5R)-(-)-4-Methyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone, with CAS number 16251-45-9, is a chiral oxazolidinone compound characterized by its specific stereochemistry, which is crucial for its biological activity. This compound features a five-membered heterocyclic ring containing both nitrogen and oxygen, contributing to its stability and reactivity. The presence of a methyl group at the 4-position and a phenyl group at the 5-position enhances its lipophilicity, potentially influencing its interaction with biological targets. As a chiral molecule, it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (4S,5R) configuration being the biologically active form. Oxazolidinones are known for their applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and as potential antimicrobial agents. The compound's solubility, melting point, and reactivity can vary based on its stereochemistry and substituents, making it a subject of interest in both synthetic and medicinal chemistry research.
