(S)-(−)-4-Isopropyl-2-oxazolidinethione
(S)-(−)-4-Isopropyl-2-oxazolidinethione (CAS: 104499-08-3; C6H11NOS) is a chiral auxiliary derived from oxazolidinone. With a molecular weight of 145.22 g/mol, this compound is primarily employed in asymmetric synthesis to control stereochemistry during chemical reactions. Its specific configuration allows for the diastereoselective formation of new chiral centres, making it a valuable tool in the synthesis of complex organic molecules.

Chiral Auxiliary in Asymmetric Synthesis
This oxazolidinethione derivative acts as a chiral auxiliary, enabling the diastereoselective alkylation, acylation, and aldol reactions. It facilitates the construction of chiral molecules with high enantiomeric purity.
Evans-Type Auxiliary
As an Evans-type auxiliary, it is instrumental in stereoselective enolate chemistry. The auxiliary can be readily cleaved after the desired stereochemical outcome is achieved, regenerating the chiral product.
Synthesis of Chiral Building Blocks
It serves as a critical component in the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched intermediates and building blocks for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. The isopropyl group influences steric outcomes.
