#9
Front (Question)

which carbon substitution does pyridine prefer?

Back (Answer)

C3 substitution is preferred this maximises the number of resonance forms possible in the intermediate, greater charge delocalization

#10

Front (Question)

why is pyridine reluctant to undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution?

Back (Answer)

#13
Front (Question)

on which carbon does pyridine prefer doing electrophilic aromatic substitution?

Back (Answer)

C3 more resonance forms, greater charge delocalisation be able to draw the resonance structures:

Front (Question)

how do we carry out reactions at C4 for pyridine?

Back (Answer)

first prepare a Py N oxide by reacing with H2O2 then add the desired nucleophile reduce it back to the ring you get some C2-nitro derivatives, but that one is less favored because of sterics and electrostatic repulsion between N+ and NO2+

Front (Question)

How is the C4 NO2 pyridine reduced with trimethyl phosphite?

Back (Answer)

trimethyl phosphite is a reducing agent

Front (Question)

how do nucleophilic aromatic substitutions on pyridine happen?

Back (Answer)

they are quite easy

#17
Front (Question)

how do you make synthetically useful 2-chloropyridine?

Back (Answer)

Card back image
#18
Front (Question)

why does making 2-chloropyridine only happen at C2 and not at C4?

Back (Answer)

#19
Front (Question)

how can a benzene be added to C2 of a pyridine?

Back (Answer)

need a strong nucleophile, an organolithium reagent hydride leaves because the driving force is the regeneration of the aromaticity

#20
Front (Question)

how can a hydroxyl group be added to the C2 of a pyridine?

Back (Answer)

need a strong nucleophile, in this case OH- you get both the keto and enol form

Card back image
#21
Front (Question)

what is the canizzaro reaction?

Back (Answer)

example of a reaction where hydride is the leaving group this is a green chemistry reaction, no solvent is needed -> mechanochemistry

#22
Front (Question)

how do nucleophilic aromatic substitutions on Py oxide happen?

Back (Answer)

also happen easily

#23
Front (Question)

what is the synthesis of nifluminic acid from nicotine and its function?

Back (Answer)

nifluminic acid=treats joint and muscle pain use N2Cr2O7 as an oxidizing agent
