Sydnones are mesoionic heterocyclic chemical compounds possessing a C5-oxygenated 1,2,3-oxadiazole core,[1][2][3] named after the city of Sydney, Australia. Like other mesoionic compounds they are dipolar, possessing both positive and negative charges which are delocalized across the ring.

Discovery
N-phenylsydnone was first prepared in 1935 by John Campbell Earl and Alan W. Mackney by cyclodehydration of N-Nitroso-N-phenylglycine with acetic anhydride.[4] Later work showed that this could be applied fairly generally to the nitrosamines of N-substituted amino acids.[2]
The parent compound sydnone is not synthetically accessible and may not exist.[2]: 130 [3]: 554

Chemical structure
Sydnones have the following resonance structures.[citation needed] The exocyclic oxygen atom (O6) has a significant negative charge.[3]
Recent computational studies have indicated that sydnones and other similar mesoionic compounds are nonaromatic, "though well-stabilized in two separate regions by electron and charge delocalization."[5]
