Pyridine undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution preferentially at the 3 position as illustrated by the synthesis of 3-nitropyridine. NO2 H,SO, + HNO3 + H2O 300°C Pyridine 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 NO,+ at the 2, 3, and 4 positions of the conjugate acid of pyridine. From examination of these intermediates, offer an explanation for preferential nitration at the 3 position.
