Description

(R)-(-)-4-Phenyl-2-oxazolidinone (DOP) is a nitro compound that is used as an intermediate in the production of other drugs. It has been shown to have stereoselective properties, and can be used to produce enantiomerically pure β-amino acids. DOP was synthesized using a chromatographic method, which is selective for the desired product. The reaction is carried out at room temperature with stirring and produces a mixture of diastereoisomers. This mixture can be separated into its component parts by fractional crystallization or distillation. The functional group on the molecule is an oxazolidine ring, which contains two different substituents, an alkyl group and a nitro group. The carbon atom in the central part of this ring has four bonds to other atoms: two single bonds and two double bonds. This makes it unsymmetrical and monosubstituted
