Chapter 22, Problem 22.8P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for the preferential of nitration of pyridine at 3rd position has to be given and also resonance contributors for the intermediate formed by attack of NO2+ at the 2, 3, 4 positions of the conjugate acid of pyridine has to be given.

Explanation of Solution

Pyridine is a base, so in the presence of acid it will be protonated.  For nitration at the 3rd position, the additional positive charge is delocalized on three carbon atoms of the pyridine ring.  In this case, none of the resonance structures has a +2 charge on the same atom.

For nitration at the 2nd position or 4th position, the additional positive charge on the cation intermediate is also delocalized on three atoms of the pyridine ring, but one of the resonance structure has a +2 charge on nitrogen atom.  This situation is less stable than that happens for nitration at the 3rd position.

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.
Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN.  For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4. The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.
