Textbook Question
Chapter 23.2, Problem 5P
Instead of adding to the 4a position and protonating N-5, the thiolate ion could have added to the 10a position and protonated N-l. (The numbering system is on page 1071.) Why is addition to the 4a position favored? (Hint: Which nitrogen is a stronger base?)
