3-(2-Biphenyl)sydnone

G. B. Riddle, D. A. Grossie and K. Turnbull

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₁₀N₂O₂, is one of many sydnones which have been synthesized in order to investigate the influence of substituents and sydnone-ring stability. There is medicinal interest in the sydnone if the ring can predictably release NO. Bond lengths and angles of the sydnone ring were compared with those of other published sydnone compounds and were found to fit the average of the published data.
