Study Notes
Heterocyclic Compounds
- Pyridine, quinoline, and isoquinoline are heterocyclic compounds, but they have distinct differences in their basic characters.
Reactivity of Alkyl Groups in Pyridine
- In pyridine, the α-positions (2, 4, and 6) of alkyl groups are more reactive than when attached to benzene.
- This is due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the nitrogen atom in pyridine.
Aromatic Properties
- Pyridine and quinoline both exhibit aromatic properties, but with some differences.
- Pyridine has a higher degree of aromaticity due to the electron-donating effect of the nitrogen atom.
- Quinoline has a lower degree of aromaticity due to the presence of a benzene ring, which reduces the electron-donating effect of the nitrogen atom.
