| 2-Oxazolidone Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | off-white to yellow-beige crystals or powder | | Uses | As an oxazole derivative used as an antibiotic, 2-Oxazolidone is also used in the preparation of compounds with antitumor activity and as a metabolite of Furazolidone (F864100).
| | Uses | An oxazole derivative used as an antibiotic. It is also used in the preparation of compounds with antitumor activity. A metabolite of Furazolidone (F864100). | | Definition | ChEBI: An oxazolidinone that is 1,3-oxazolidine with an oxo substituent at position 2. | | Safety Profile | Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise it from *benzene, dichloroethane, CHCl3 or EtOH. It is a cyclic urethane, and as such it is not very stable. [Katritzky et al. J Chem Soc Perkin II 145 1990, Beilstein 27 H 135, 27 II 259, 27 III/IV 2516.] |
