Pyridine undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution preferentially at the 3 position as illustrated by the synthesis of 3-nitropyridine.
Under these acidic conditions, the species undergoing nitration is not pyridine, but its conjugate acid. Write resonance contributing structures for the intermediate formed by attack of NO2+ at the 2, 3, and 4 positions of the conjugate add of pyridine. From examination of these intermediates, offer an explanation for preferential nitration at the 3 position.
Explain how benzaldehyde and dimedone reacts with each other, and then with the aminotriazole to form compound 1a in the presence of an acid catalyst. Provide a detailed reaction mechanism.
During the development of the optimized procedure for the experiment, it was found out that compound 1b can also be produced from the same set of starting materials. Propose a detailed reaction mechanism for the formation of 1b. Explain your answer.
What factor/s may drive the formation of 1b over 1a?
Whether the ortho-carboxy substituent acts as an intramolecular general-base catalyst or as an intramolecular nucleophilic catalyst can be determined by carrying out the hydrolysis of aspirin with 18O-labeled water and determining whether 18O is incorporated into ortho-carboxy-substituted phenol. Explain the results that would be obtained with the two types of catalysis.
