Oxazolidines are five-membered ring compounds consisting of three carbons, nitrogen and oxygen. Oxygen and nitrogen are in the 1 and 3 positions, respectively. Oxazolidine is in general yellow or slightly yellow, alkaline liquid or solid, easily hydrolyzed by water or alcohol. It is insoluble in water (or hydrolyzed); soluble in benzene and chloroform. Oxazolidine derivatives are five-membered cyclic compounds containing at least one oxygen and nitrogen in their molecular structure. Oxazolidine derivatives are known to possess various therapeutic activities, such as anticancer and antibiotic properties.
Boronic acids and boronate esters are commonly used reagents in Suzuki–Miyaura coupling chemistry. Organoboron derivatives are common reagents for C–C bond formation, either through classical palladium-mediated transformations or through other newer coupling methods. Boronic esters and acids are potential intermediates in the manufacture of many active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).
