X-ray single-crystal structures of two recently synthesized inhibitors
of monoamine oxidase (MAO) belonging to the aryloxazolidinone family
are reported. The first compound is ydroxy-methyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)o
xazolidin-2-one, C11H13NO4 (1) and the second is ethoxy-methyl-3-(4-me
thoxyphenyl)oxazolidin-2-one, C12H15NO4 (11). Both compounds show copl
anarity between the phenyl and oxazolidinone rings and electronic delo
calization between the heteroatoms of the oxazolidinone moiety as indi
cated by the bond lengths. The crystal packing is assumed to be by van
der Waals interactions. Cohesion is increased in the structure of (1)
by the presence of hydrogen bonds.
