(R)-4-Benzyl-2-oxazolidinone is a derivative of oxazolidinone. It
can be used in the preparation of enantiopure carbocyclic
nucleosides, which act as a HIV protease inhibitor. It can also be
used as a chiral auxiliary in the enantioselective synthesis of (2R,
2′S)-erythro-methylphenidate, beta-lactams and alpha-amino acids.
Its end product includes asymmetric single isomeric drugs such as
antitumor, anesthetic and entipasmodic products.
