Isoxazolidine is the
organic compound with the formula (CH2)3(NH)O. It is the parent of a family of compounds called Isoxazolidines, which are saturated C3NO
heterocyclic rings where the nitrogen and oxygen occupy adjacent positions (1 and 2). They are the saturated analogues of
Isoxazoles, and they are isomeric with
oxazolidines, where the N and O are separated by one carbon.[1]
