Abstract
The title compound, (4S)-4-[(2S)-butan-2-yl]-1,3-oxazolidine-2,5-dione, C7H11NO3 was synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method at 123 K. It crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group, P212121, with unit-cell parameters: a = 6.4713(3)Å, b = 6.7196(3)Å, c = 17.9369(7)Å, and Z = 4. The oxazolidine ring in this compound is planar with a maximum deviation of 0.037(4)Å.
