Crystal structure and antidiabetic activity of 2-aminospiropyrazolinium tosylates and the product of O-tosylation of β-(benzimidazol-1-yl)propioamidoxime.

2-Amino-1,5-diazaspiro[4.5]dec-1-en-5-ium salts possess bioactivity tuned by the nature of the heteroatoms in the six-membered ring and the counter-ion. The molecular environment of these cations in solids provides an opportunity to establish the conformations and hydrogen-bonding patterns typical for this family.
