2-Oxazolidinone, 5-(chloromethyl)-, (5S)- is a chemical compound characterized by its oxazolidinone ring structure, which is a five-membered heterocyclic compound containing both nitrogen and oxygen atoms. The presence of a chloromethyl group at the 5-position of the oxazolidinone ring indicates that it has potential reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. The (5S)- designation refers to its specific stereochemistry, indicating that it has a particular spatial arrangement of atoms that can influence its biological activity and reactivity. As with many oxazolidinones, this compound may exhibit properties such as antimicrobial activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety and handling precautions should be observed due to the presence of the chloromethyl group, which can be reactive and potentially hazardous.

(S)-5-ChloroMethyl-2-oxazolidinone

(S)-5-(Chloromethyl)oxazolidin-2-one is an intermediate that is used in the synthesis of linezolid, a drug that inhibits bacterial growth by preventing protein synthesis. It is also an efficient reagent for the synthesis of phosphazene and other intermediates. This chemical can be prepared by the reaction of methylamine with chloroacetone (phosphoryl chloride). The reaction product is treated with methanol to produce 5-(chloromethyl)oxazolidin-2-one. This compound can also be synthesized from alcohols, such as toluene, and isocyanates.
