(4S)-Benzyl 4-isopropyl-5-oxo-1,3-oxazolidine-3-carboxylate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C14H17NO4, obtained by the reaction of N-benzoxycarbonyl-l-valine, paraformaldehyde and 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid, molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating linear chains parallel to the a axis. C—H...π interactions of stacked benzene rings also provide stability for the crystal structure.
