(C4H5As), an analogue of pyrrole in which an arsenic atom replaces the nitrogen atom.[17] The aromaticity of arsoles has been debated for many years.[18] The compound in which a benzene ring is fused to arsole — typically on the carbon atoms 3 and 4 — is known as benzarsole.[3]
Bastardane A close relative to adamantane and its proper name is ethano-bridged noradamantane. Because its unusual ethano-bridge was a deviation from the standard hydrocarbon caged rearrangements, it came to be known as bastardane—the unwanted child.[3][19]
Crapinon An anticholinergic drug, one side effect of which is constipation.[3]
Cummingtonite ((Mg,Fe)7Si8(OH)22), a magnesium-iron silicate hydroxide, first identified in Cummington, Massachusetts.[3]
