For each of the following statements, indicate whether they are true of false. ⚫ the terms primary, secondary and tertiary have different meanings when applied to amines than they do when applied to alcohols. • a tertiary amine is one that is bonded to a tertiary carbon atom (one with three C atoms bonded to it). • simple five-membered heteroaromatic compounds (e.g. pyrrole) are typically more electron rich than benzene. ⚫ simple six-membered heteroaromatic compounds (e.g. pyridine) are typically more electron rich than benzene. • pyrrole is very weakly basic because protonation anywhere on the ring disrupts the aromaticity. • thiophene is more reactive than benzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. • pyridine is more reactive than nitrobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution. • the lone pair on the nitrogen atom of pyridine is part of the pi system.arrow_forwardThe following reactions are NOT ordered in the way in which they occur.
