(4SR)-4-Benzyl-4-hydroxyisoxazolidin-3-one

H. Gao and Y. Sun

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₁₁NO₃, was synthesized by the reaction of ethyl 3-aminoxy-2-benzyl-2-hydroxypropanoate with potassium hydroxide. It was found to crystallize with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal structure, O-HO and N-HO interactions link the molecules into one-dimensional chains along the crystallographic a axis.
