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 [de] and Alan W. Mackney [Wikidata] 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] Thumb

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]

Examples

  • Cefanone (Cephanone)
  • Ipramidil
  • 3-Thiomorpholino-sydnonimine U.S. patent 4,332,801
  • The reaction between methyl 3-benzyl-sydnone-4-acetate and diphenylacetylene is described in Ex1 of GB 1387306 gives an analog of Bufezolac.
  • Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Coumarinyl Sydnone Derivatives.[6]

A sydnone imine in which the keto group of sydnone (=O) has been replaced with an imino (=NH) group can be found as a substructure in the stimulant drugs feprosidnine and mesocarb.
