Comment Pyridine undergo nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution reaction?

Pyridine will add to carbon 3 in electrophilic reactions, such as Bromine addition. However in a nucleophilic reaction, such as seen in the Chichibabin reaction, carbon #2 and #4 are substituted such as if NH2 - attacked. Draw out the resonance forms and you will see this, or consult any Organic text under heterocyclic Chemistry.In a C3 attack, the electrophile will destabilize the C2 and C4 position, to a great extent since N lacks an octet in one of these resonance forms.In a nucleophilic addition, addition at C2 or C4 allows the negative charge to be shared by Nitrogen thus is preferred to the C3 attack. Hope that helps. Dr Jim Romano CEO Romano Scientific CEO Orgoman.com Class of 1991 NYU
