(S)-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid; CAS No.: 41371-53-3; (S)-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid. PROPERTIES: This chiral oxo acid has molecular formula C5H7N3O3. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder. The (S)-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid demonstrates moderate solubility in water (approximately 30 mg/mL at 25 C) and good solubility in methanol and ethanol. Its melting point ranges between 180-185 C, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 157.13 g/mol. When handling, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and use of proper respiratory protection. Storage should be in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. The compound is sensitive to strong acids and may decarboxylate upon exposure to high temperatures above 200 C. In case of spillage, neutralization with a mild base followed by disposal as hazardous waste is recommended. APPLICATIONS: The (S)-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylic acid functions as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of calcium channel blockers where the carboxylic acid group forms ionic interactions with receptor subtypes (as reported in medicinal chemistry literature). The chiral center ensures proper orientation for optimal receptor binding. Additionally, the compound serves as a building block in the preparation of chiral materials for organic electronics with specific charge transport properties, useful in field-effect transistors with mobility values exceeding 0.1 cm?/Vs as described in materials science publications. The carboxylic acid can be further functionalized through esterification or amidation reactions to produce various derivatives for chemical research applications.
