Azo compounds Substitution and Elimination Reactions of Amines Amine functions don t usually act as leaving groups in nucleophilic substitution or base-catalyzed elimination reactions. tetraalkyl ammonium salts are efficient leaving groups in eliminations and in some S N 2 substitutions.

Hofmann Elimination Hofmann Mechanism (1) N-H protons of amide are abstracted. Rearrangement forms an isocyanate. => 9
Hofmann Mechanism (2) Isocyanate reacts with water to form carbamic acid, which loses CO 2. => simple amines are easily converted to the necessary 4º-ammonium salts by exhaustive alkylation methyl has no beta-hydrogens and cannot compete in the elimination reaction. the major product may be the less substituted alkene. The tendency of Hofmann eliminations to give the less-substituted double bond isomer is commonly referred to as the Hofmann Rule, and contrasts strikingly with the Zaitsev Rule formulated for dehydrohalogenations and dehydrations. 10

Pyrrole is an extremely weak base The dipole moment in pyrrolidine (left) is attributed to the electron-withdrawing property of the nitrogen atom 13
Pyrrole, furan, and thiophene undergo electrophilic substitution preferentially at C-2 14
Electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions Structures of the intermediates that can be formed from the reaction of an electrophile with pyrrole at C-2 and C-3 15
If both positions adjacent to the heteroatom are occupied, electrophilic substitution occurs at C-3 16
The relative reactivities of the five-membered-ring heterocycles in Friedel Crafts reaction The resonance hybrid of pyrrole indicates that there is a partial positive charge on the nitrogen Pyrrole is unstable in strongly acid solution because the protonated pyrrole polymerizes 17
Pyrrole is more acidic than the analogous saturated Its acidity is increased due to its conjugated base being stabilized by resonance!!!!!!!!!!!!! 18
Aromatic Six-Membered-Ring Heterocycles The pyridinium ion is a stronger acid than a typical ammonium ion 19
Pyridine Reacts Like a Tertiary Amine Pyridine Is Aromatic 20
Pyridine undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution at C-3 21
Protonation of pyridine decreases its reactivity 22
Pyridine is less reactive than benzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution, but is more reactive toward nucleophilic aromatic substitution Pyridine undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution at C-2 and C-4 23
If the leaving groups at C-2 and C-4 are different, the incoming nucleophile will preferentially substitute for the weaker base Bromination and Oxidation of Substituted Pyridine 24
Diazotization of Aminopyridine 25
The α-hydrogens of alkyl substituents can be removed by base to generate nucleophiles Quinoline and isoquinoline are known as benzopyridines 26
