(8aRS)-8,8a-Dihydro­furo[3,2-f]indolizine-6,9(4H,7H)-dione

The title compound, C10H9NO3, is a chiral mol­ecule with one stereogenic carbon atom, but which crystallizes as a racemate in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n. The central six-membered ring of the indolizine moiety adopts a definite envelope conformation, while the conformation of the oxopyrrolidine ring is close to that of a flat-envelope with a maximum deviation of 0.352 (1) Å for the flap atom

2-Chloro-N-(2,6-dimethyl­phen­yl)benzamide

In the title compound, C15H14ClNO, the dihedral angle between the benzoyl and the aniline rings is 3.30 (18)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains running along the a axis

2-Chloro-N-(2-methyl­phen­yl)benzamide

In the title compound, C14H12ClNO, the two aromatic rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 4.08 (18)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains running along the a axis

N-(2,3-Dimethyl­phen­yl)-2-methyl­benzamide

In the title compound, C16H17NO, the two aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 5.9 (2)°, while the central amide core –NH—C(=O)– is twisted by 44.0 (3) and 47.1 (3)° out of the planes of the 2,3-dimethyl­phenyl and 2-methyl­phenyl rings, respectively. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains running along the b axis

(4R,6S,7S,8S,8aS)-6-Ethyl-7,8-dihy­droxy-4-methyl-1,2,3,5,6,7,8,8a-octa­hydro­indolizin-4-ium iodide

The title compound, C11H22NO2 +·I−, is a chiral mol­ecule with five stereogenic centres. The absolute configuration was assigned from the synthesis and confirmed by the structure determination. The central six-membered ring of the indolizine system adopts a chair conformation, with two atoms displaced by −0.690 (2) and 0.550 (2) Å from the plane of the other four atoms. The conformation of the pyrrolidine ring is close to that of an envelope, with the flap atom displaced by 0.563 (2) Å from the plane of the remaining four atoms. In the crystal, there are two O—H⋯I hydrogen bonds
