Oxazolidinone is a cyclopentane-like molecule frequently used in organic chemistry reactions and is a central part of many medications, particularly some cardiac medications and new classes of antibiotics.
Chemistry
Chemically, oxazolidinones are a subclass of azoles, which are cyclic molecules containing a nitrogen atom ("aza"), and oxazoles, which contain both a nitrogen and an oxygen atom in the ring system. The ketone carbon is noted by the suffix "one".
