(R)-4-Benzyloxazolidine-2-thione
(R)-4-Benzyloxazolidine-2-thione (CAS 190970-58-2) is a chiral auxiliary with the molecular formula C10H11NOS and a molecular weight of 193.27 g/mol. It is recognised for its high selectivity and efficiency in asymmetric synthesis. This compound is a valuable tool in organic chemistry, particularly for stereoselective reductions, enabling the formation of specific enantiomers.

Chiral Auxiliary in Asymmetric Synthesis
This compound serves as a highly selective and efficient chiral auxiliary. It facilitates stereocontrolled reactions, leading to the preferential formation of one enantiomer over the other.
Stereoselective Reductions
The auxiliary can be directly reduced to its corresponding aldehyde. Subsequent reductive cleavage with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) liberates the chiral auxiliary and the desired aldehyde product.
Synthesis of Chiral Building Blocks
It is instrumental in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds, acting as a key intermediate for constructing complex chiral molecules used in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
