Abstract: The title compound, (2S)-1-{[(4S)-4-benzyl-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl]carbonyl}-1,2-dihydroquinoline-2-carbonitrile, C₂₁H₁₇N₃O₃, is the result of a diastereoselective Reissert-type reaction performed on a quinoline ring bearing a 4-benzyl oxazolidinone ring as chiral auxiliary. By means of X-ray analysis and according to the known S configuration at the C atom to which the benzyl group is attached, the S configuration at the C atom to which the nitrile group is attached was determined.
