Hexa-acetate-tetra-aqua-trimanganese diglycine dihydrated retains the two-dimensional character of commercial manganese diacetate tetrahydrate. The manganese atoms assemble in short centrosymetric chains that are further bridged through the carboxylic group of the acetate ions agglomerating the chains into a two-dimensional pattern. The layers are bonded through H-bonds involving the zwitterionic glycine and the solvate water molecules. Susceptibility measurements show a ferrimagnetic behaviour of the sample.

Intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of bicyclic münchnones, 5H,7H-thiazolo[3,4-c]oxazol-4-ium-1-olates, derived from cyclodehydration of 2-substituted-N-acylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids are reported. A range of new pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole derivatives (7, 14, 15, 20, 23, and 26) were obtained as single enantiomers from 2-phenylthiazolidines, 2-benzoylthiazolidines, and 2-methylthiazolidine-4-carboxylates. Pyrrolo[1,2-c][1,4]thiazine derivative 27 was also obtained from pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole derivative 26. The structures of methyl (2R,4R)-2-(p-methoxybenzoyl)thiazolidine-4-carboxylate (17a), methyl (2R,4R)-2-(p-methoxybenzoyl)-N-(prop-2-ynyloxyacetyl)thiazolidine- 4-carboxylate (18), and 3-oxo-4-phenyl-3,4,6,8-tetrahydro-1H-furo[3',4':2,3]pyrrolo[1,2-c][1,4]thiazine (27) were determined by X-ray crystallography. Chirooptical studies of the pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazoles were done by confirming the absolute configuration at the chiral center C-3.

(2R,4R)-N-Acyl-2-phenylthiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids were used to generate 5H,7H-thiazolo[3,4-c]oxazol-4-ium-1-olates with internal dipolarophiles. The intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of these mesoionic species led to the synthesis of new 1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole derivatives (8a, 8b and 12) as single enantiomers. The structure of 8a was determined by X-ray crystallography.

(5R)-3-Methyl-5-phenyl-5H,7H-thiazolo[3,4-c]oxazol-4-ium-1-olate was generated in the presence of a range of dipolarophiles. The intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of this mesoionic species led to the synthesis of chiral 1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole derivatives 7a, 7b, 8, 14, 18, 19 and 20. In the reaction with methyl and ethyl vinyl ketone, spiro compounds 9 and 15 were also obtained. The structure of compound 15 was determined by X-ray crystallography.

Intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of (5R)- and (5S)-3,5-diphenyl-5H,7H-thiazolo[3,4-c]oxazol-4-ium-1-olates, (5R)- and (5S)-3-(p-methoxyphenyl)-5-phenyl-5H,7H-thiazolo-[3,4-c]oxazol-4-ium-1-olates with a range of dipolarophiles is described. New chiral 5-aryl-3-phenyl-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazoles with R and S configuration were obtained. The structure of methyl (3R)-3-phenyl-5-(p-methoxyphenyl)-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole-6-carboxylate was determined by X-ray crystallography. The synthesis of 7,7a-dihydro-1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]thiazole-6,7-dicarboxylates was also achieved.

The title compound, C3H7NO2*C3H8NO2+*NO3-, contains L-alanine-alaninium dimers bonded via the carboxyl groups by a strong asymmetric hydrogen bond with an O...O distance of 2.4547 (19) A. The neutral alanine molecule exists as a zwitterion, where the carboxyl group is dissociated and the amino group is protonated. The alaninium cation has both groups in their acidic form. The alanine molecule and the alaninium cation differ only slightly in their conformation, having an N-C(alpha)-C=O torsion angle close to -25 degrees. The dimers and the nitrate anion are joined through a three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network, in which the full hydrogen-bonding capabilities of the amino groups of the two alanine moieties are realised.
