25 Heterocycles: Heteroatoms in Cyclic Organic Compounds The material in this chapter falls into two broad categories: nonaromatic and aromatic heterocycles. You have already seen many examples of nonaromatic heterocycles (see the section references at the start of the text chapter). There will be new ones, especially compounds containing nitrogen atoms in three-, four-, or fivemembered rings. Heteroatoms may also be present in aromatic rings, and compounds with this feature are the subject of the last six sections of the chapter. In general, the properties of heterocyclic compounds will be predictable from principles you’ve already seen: They will be similar to acyclic compounds with similar heteroatoms unless (1) the ring is strained or (2) the ring is aromatic. When the ring is aromatic, the effect of the heteroatom on its chemistry will be important, and this will be a new topic to which you will need to apply your knowledge of inductive and resonance effects.

Keys to the Chapter 25-1. Naming the Heterocycles Note simply that the text sticks to strict systematic nomenclature for nonaromatic heterocycles but uses the universally accepted common names for the aromatic systems. 25-2. Nonaromatic Heterocycles This section generalizes what you have previously learned concerning the preparation and reactions of cyclic ethers. Rings containing nitrogen and sulfur illustrate the principal similarity with their oxygen relatives: Ring opening to relieve strain governs the reactivity of the smaller rings (three or four atoms). 439 1559T_ch25_439-453 10/20/05 5:59 AM Page 439

25-3 through 25-7. Aromatic Heterocycles Five- and six-membered heterocyclic compounds make up the vast majority of aromatic heteroatom-containing systems. Counting electrons in the systems of these rings is occasionally confusing. Here is a simple way to determine whether a lone pair of a heteroatom is part of the cyclic system: If only single bonds link the heteroatom to its neighbors in the ring, then one lone pair from the heteroatom may be in a p orbital and become part of the cyclic system. Examples are pyrrole, furan, and thiophene. Notice that in the latter two, only one of the two lone pairs on the heteroatom is part of the system: The other is in an sp2 orbital and has nothing to do with the molecule’s aromaticity at all. If the heteroatom is doubly bonded to another ring atom, as is the case with pyridine, a lone pair on it will be in an sp2 orbital and will never count toward the cyclic system in the molecule. Try to apply these rules to as many structures illustrated in these sections as you can: They are all aromatic, so you know what the answers should be. Typically, syntheses of the aromatic heterocycles utilize combinations of carbonyl condensation reactions and 1,2- or 1,4-additions of enolate and heteroatom nucleophiles to , -unsaturated carbonyl compounds— no fundamentally new chemistry here. Reactions of these systems show a blending of benzene–aromatic chemistry and the chemistry of nonaromatic analogs with the same heteroatom. Furan is a good example: It undergoes electrophilic substitution (aromatic chemistry), ring cleavage in acid (ether chemistry), and Diels-Alder cycloaddition (diene chemistry). Putting the large number of reactions here into their appropriate compartments should help you organize them for study and problem-solving. Solutions to Problems 26.

Thus, C5 is the site of attack by typical electrophiles. In this particular example, however, the major product is due to diazo coupling at C2, because under the basic conditions the imidazole anion is attacked, and reaction at C2 gives a symmetrical intermediate with two equivalent resonance forms.

46. The hydrogen atoms on the nitrogen are relatively acidic because of resonance stabilization of the anion that results from deprotonation. Conjugate addition followed by intramolecular aldol condensation gives the product: 47. To answer the second question first, the process will be slower than nitration on quinoline itself. Nitration is an electrophilic substitution, and the alkanoyl group is a strong deactivating group toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. Substitution will take place on the benzene ring, which is more reactive toward electrophiles than is the pyridine ring. Without the extra ethanoyl group substitution would be expected to occur at positions 5 and 8, because the cationic intermediates from substitution at these positions do not disrupt the aromaticity of the pyridine ring.
