(4S)-(−)-4-Benzyl-2,2-dimethyl-3-o-toluoyl-1,3-oxazolidine

Abstract

The absolute configuration of the title compound, C20H23NO2, has been confirmed as 4S. The benzyl residue and H atom at the asymmetric C-atom centre occupy pseudo-axial and bisectional positions, respectively. The oxazolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, the molecular packing is stabilized by non-classical C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
