X-ray Structures of 3-Acetyloxazolidin-2-one, 3-Acetyloxazolin-2-one and Oxazolin-2(3<i>H</i>)-one

The X-ray structures of three simple heterocyclic compounds have been obtained for the first time. Structures of both 3-acetyloxazolidin-2-one <b>1</b> and its unsaturated analogue 3-acetyloxazolin-2-one <b>3</b> show a planar imide nitrogen with the exocyclic C=O oriented &l...

description The X-ray structures of three simple heterocyclic compounds have been obtained for the first time. Structures of both 3-acetyloxazolidin-2-one <b>1</b> and its unsaturated analogue 3-acetyloxazolin-2-one <b>3</b> show a planar imide nitrogen with the exocyclic C=O oriented <i>anti</i> to the ring N–C(=O) bond and negligible intermolecular interactions, a pattern consistent with previously reported analogues. In contrast the parent NH heterocycle, oxazolin-2(3<i>H</i>)-one <b>4</b>, exists as hydrogen bonded dimers of two closely similar independent molecules but an unusual type of disorder involving exchange of the ring O and NH positions results in a very high <i>R</i> factor.
