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.]
