When ingested, the molecule is known to cause rhabdomyolysis.[2]
In mice, the oral LD50 of this molecule is 2.5 mg/kg and poisoning is indicated by an increase in serum creatine phosphokinase activity. Polymerization via the ene reaction abolishes toxicity.[2]
3-(Cycloprop-2-en-1-oyl)oxazolidinones are a class of ‘unusually stable’ derivatives of cycloprop-2-ene carboxylic acid that have been synthesized by Fox et al. As mentioned by Fox et al, this class of ‘unusually stable’ derivatives are dienophiles when involved in Diels-Alder Reaction.[3]
