Q

Why is not oxidation required in order to form the heteroaromatic ring in formation of pyridine?

because of water is lost from the dihydropyridine when using hydroxylamine under acidic conditions

Q

Why can the reaction occur on any of the nitrogens when making tetrazole from synthesis of broperamole ?

A

This is because the anion intermediate is

delocalised within the ring

Q

Pyrrole is the best at performing EAS reactions. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

21
Q

Which is the most and least powerful electron donor?

Between nitrogen and sulfur

A

Nitrogen most powerful

Sulfur least powerful

22
Q

Does thiophene have similar EAS reactivity to benzene?

A

YES

23
Q

Why is Thiophene less reactive than furan or pyrrole?

A

due to 3p-2p orbital overlap, which is not as good as 2p-2p overlap

24
Q

Why can Furan react with molecular bromine?

A

Because Furan is less aromatic than pyrrole, this allows for reactions other than substitutions

25
Q

What is the pKa of pyrrole as a base?

A

-4

26
Q

What is the pKa of pyrrole NH ?

A

16.5

27
Q

will Increasing ring delocalisation increase or reduced basicity?

A

Reduce

28
Q

what does Pyrroles + strong acid form?

A

Polymers

29
Q

What is the reason for the formation of a polymer when using pyrroles and strong acid?

A

pyrrole will act as a base

30
Q

What does Pyrroles + Br2 form?

A

polybromination

31
Q

For Pyrrole: Reaction with molecular
bromine requires a Lewis acid & leads
to substitution at all 4 positions. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

FALSE

32
Q

For Pyridine: Molecular bromine reacts

with the ring nitrogen. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

33
Q

What is the main difference between pyrroles and indoles?

A

Preferred EAS reactions at the 2-position rather than the 3-position

34
Q

Which of the positions (2 or 3) is more stable and produces a linear conjugate system in the pyrroles EAS?

A

2 position

35
Q

Which conjugation system does the 3 position in EAS reaction of pyrroles form?

A

Cross conjugated system

36
Q

When does EAS reaction work well for indoles?

A

when performing halogenation,
nitration, sulfonation, Friedel-Crafts acylation &
alkylation

37
Q

What position does Indoles EAS reaction occur?

A

position 3

38
Q

Indoles in EAS reactions can give 2-position product if electrophile migrates from 3-position. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

39
Q

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions work well for both pyridine & quinoline. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

40
Q

Give the reason why Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions work well for both pyridine & quinoline?

A

Because they give substitution products when the negative charge can rest on the nitrogen in the intermediate species

41
Q

Pyridine does undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution (EAS) reactions. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

FALSE

42
Q

What are the reasons to which pyridine does not undergo EAS reactions?

A

Because:
(1) N de-stabilises the cationic would-be intermediate

(2) Ring is unreactive to electrophiles

(3) Electrophilic reagents instead attach to the N (e.g. AlCl3 from Friedel-Crafts reactions
complexes with the N (so pyridine is a good ligand for metals such as AlCl3

43
Q

Pyridine does undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution (NAS) reactions at the 2- and 4-position. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

44
Q

Why can pyridine undergo NAS reactions?

A

Because:
(1) the negative charge in the intermediate can rest on N

(2) of similarities between this chemistry & that already described involving nucleophilic attack on carbonyl compounds (especially acid chlorides)

45
Q

which one between piperidine, imine and pyridine is the weakest base?

A

Pyridine

46
Q

Saturated amines are better bases than imines. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

47
Q

The weaker the base the stronger the acidity of the conjugate acid, which explains why the conjugate acid of pyridine (the pyridinium ion) shows similar acidity to RCOOH. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

48
Q

Pyridones – reaction with POCl3 followed by a nucleophilic substitution. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE

49
Q

2-Pyridone & 4-pyridone exist in the ‘amide’ form. TRUE OR FALSE?

A

TRUE
