It may seem strange that this rather narrowlydefined class of compounds deserves a wholeunit, but you will soon see that this is justifiedboth by the sheer number and variety ofheterocycles that exist and by their specialchemical features.

Why bother with heterocycles?

A recent analysis of the organic compoundsregistered in Chemical Abstracts revealed that as ofJune 2007, there were 24,282,284 compoundscontaining cyclic structures, with heterocyclicsystems making up many of these compounds –about two third of organic compounds areheterocyclic.

Most pharmaceuticals are based on heterocycles. Aninspection of the structures of the top-selling brand-name drugs in 2007 reveals that 8 of the top 10 and71 of the top 100 drugs contain heterocycles.

The IUPAC rules allow three nomenclatures.

I. The Hantzsch-Widman Nomenclature.

II. Common Names

III. The Replacement Nomenclature

Page 15: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

Dr. Solomon Derese UPC 213 15

n = 1,2,3, ……

The Hantzsch-Widman nomenclature is based onthe type (Z) of the heteroatom; the ring size (n) andnature of the ring, whether it is saturated orunsaturated .

I. Hantzsch-Widman Nomenclature

This system of nomenclature applies to monocyclicthree-to-ten-membered ring heterocycles.

Page 16: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

Table II: Stems to indicate the ring size and degree ofunsaturation of heterocycles

The endings indicate the size and degree ofunsaturation of the ring.

Page 19: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

Dr. Solomon Derese UPC 213 19

Each suffix consists of a ring size root and anending intended to designate the degree ofunsaturation in the ring.

It is important to recognize that the saturatedsuffix applies only to completely saturated ringsystems, and the unsaturated suffix applies torings incorporating the maximum number of non-cumulated double bonds.

According to this system heterocyles are named bycombining appropriate prefix/prefixes with a stemfrom Table II. The letter “a” in the prefix is omittedwhere necessary.

Page 20: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

Dr. Solomon Derese UPC 213 20

Saturated 3, 4 & 5-membered nitrogenheterocycles should use respectively thetraditional "iridine", "etidine" & "olidine"suffix.

Systems having a lesser degree ofunsaturation require an appropriate prefix,such as "dihydro"or "tetrahydro".

Dr. Solomon Derese UPC 213 43

This is a special problem resulting from isomerism in theposition of the double bonds which is sometimes referredto as “extra-hydrogen” and this can be addressed bysimply adding a prefix that indicates the number of thering atom that possesses the hydrogen using italic capital‘1H’ ‘2H’ ‘3H’, etc. The numerals indicate the position ofthese atoms having the extra hydrogen atom.

In replacement nomenclature, theheterocycle's name is composed of thecarbocycle's name and a prefix that denotesthe heteroatom.

III. The Replacement Nomenclature

Thus, "aza", "oxa", and "thia" are prefixes for anitrogen ring atom, an oxygen ring atom, and asulfur ring atom, respectively.

Notice that heterocyclic rings are numbered sothat the heteroatom has the lowest possiblenumber.

REACTIONS AND PROPERTIES OF AROMATIC HETEROCYLCES

Page 50: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

50

N..

Pyridine

Pyridine is aromatic asthere are six delocalizedelectrons in the ring.

Six-membered heterocycles are more closelyrelated to benzene as they are aromatic on thebasis of their p-electron systems without the needfor delocalization of heteroatom lone pairs. Theempirical resonance energy for pyridine is about 28Kcal/mol, only slightly lower than that for benzene.

SIX MEMBERED AROMATIC HETEROCYCLES

Page 51: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

51

Pyridine has divalent negatively charged N, which isa stable condition for N. The positive charge isdispersed to carbons around the ring, specifically toC-2 and C-4.

Structure of Pyridine

The net effect is to reduce the p-electron density inthe ring relative to benzene, and as result pyridineis electron deficient compared to benzene.

Page 52: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

As a result, unlike benzene pyridine is polarmolecule due to the electronegative nitrogen.

Page 53: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

53

Six membered heterocycleswith an electronegativeheteroatom are generallyelectron deficient comparedto benzene. Such compoundsare classified as p-deficient.

Electron-withdrawing heteroatoms decreasethe p-electron density at the carbon atomsand are thus p-deficient relative to benzene.

Page 54: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

54

Structure of five membered heterocycles

The five-membered aromaticheterocycle ring has a p-electronexcess (six on five atoms), while inbenzene, the p-electron density isone on each ring atom.

Five membered heterocycles with an electronegativeheteroatom are generally electron rich compared tobenzene (six electrons for five carbons). Suchcompounds are classified as p-excessive.

Page 55: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

55

36 kcal/mol

29 kcal/mol

22 kcal/mol

16 kcal/mol

The ease with which the lone pairelectron is released is directlyrelated to the electronegativity ofthe heteroatom. Thus the lowerthe electronegativity of theheteroatom, the higher thearomaticity.

The degree of aromatic characterin a five membered ring isdetermined by the ease withwhich the lone pair may bereleased into the delocalizedsystem.

Aromatic Heterocycles

p- Excessive p- Deficient

This classification is not trivial; there is a vastdifference between the properties of the two typesof aromatic compounds.

Page 58: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

58

Reactions of p-deficient heterocyclic aromatic compounds

A hallmark of p-deficient heterocyclic systemsis their low reactivity with electrophilicagents, slower than benzene. For example,pyridine is less reactive than benzene by afactor of 106 when subjected to conditions ofnitration. The reactivity is on the order of thatof nitrobenzene, which is well known torequire much more drastic conditions thanthose for benzene itself.

Page 59: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

59

For example, 3-bromopyridine is formed whenpyridine is reacted with bromine in the presence ofoleum (sulfur trioxide in conc. sulfuric acid) at 130°C.

Conversely pyridines are susceptible to nucleophilicattack.

Page 60: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

60

The reactivity is greater than that of benzeneand is in roughly the same range as found forbenzenes bearing electron releasing groupssuch as in aniline. The greater electron densityin these rings accounts for this higherreactivity.

A significant feature of the p-excessive ringsystems is that they undergo electrophilicaromatic reactions faster than benzene.

Reactions of p-excessive heterocyclic aromatic compounds

Page 61: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

These heterocycles undergo electrophilic aromaticsubstitution reactions much faster than benzeneunder similar conditions. The reasons for this are:

I. The resonance energy of the heterocycles is lessthan that of benzene, i.e. less aromatic thanbenzene.

II. The five-membered aromatic heterocycle ring hasa p-electron excess (six on five atoms), while inbenzene, the p-electron density is one on eachring atom.

Furans are volatile, fairly stable compounds withpleasant odours. Furan itself is slightly soluble inwater. It is readily available, and its commercialimportance is mainly due to its role as the precursorof the very widely used solvent tetrahydrofuran(THF).

73

By analogy with benzene, furanundergoes reactions with electrophilicreagents, often with substitution.However, it can also react by additionand/or ring-opening depending onreagent and reaction conditions.

Halogenation

Furan can be halogenated at a-position. Bromination andiodination are easy to control as only one halogen atomsadds to furan. In the case of chlorination, di-substitution hasbeen known to occur.

76

AcylationAcetyl groups in the presence of phosphoric acid (or a Lewisacid) add at a-position of furans.

In general, position 2 (a-position) is more reactive thanposition 3. When position 2 is blocked, b-acylation canproceed smoothly.

78

Addition reactions

Furans yield the corresponding tetrahydrofurans bycatalytic hydrogenation.

In some addition reactions, furans behave as 1,3-dienes. For example, furan reacts with bromine inmethanol in the presence of potassium acetate togive 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran by a 1,4-addition:

Thiophene prefers reactionswith electrophilic reagents.Additions and ring-openingreactions are less importantthan with furan, andsubstitution reactions aredominant.

Some additional reactions, such as oxidationand desulfurization, are due to the presenceof sulfur and are thus confined to thiophenes.

Electrophilic substitutions

Thiophene reacts more slowly than furan but fasterthan benzene. Substitution is regioselective in the 2-or in the 2,5-position.

Pyridines

Pyridine is the simplest heterocycle of theazine type. It is derived from benzene byreplacement of a CH group by a N-atom.

Page 89: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

89

The structure of pyridine is completely analogous to that ofbenzene, being related by replacement of CH by N.

The key differences are:

I. The departure from perfectly regular hexagonalgeometry caused by the presence of the hetero atom, inparticular the shorter carbon-nitrogen bonds,

II. The replacement of a hydrogen in the plane of the ringwith an unshaired electron pair, likewise in the plane ofthe ring, located in an sp2 hybrid orbital, and not at allinvolved in the aromatic p-electron sextet; it is thisnitrogen lone pair which is responsible for the basicproperties of pyridines, and

Page 90: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

90

III.A strong permanent dipole, traceable to thegreater electronegativity of the nitrogencompared with carbon.

Page 91: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

91

I. The heteroatom make pyridines very unreactiveto normal electrophilic aromatic substitutionreactions. Conversely pyridines are susceptible tonucleophilic attack. Pyridines undergoelectrophilic substitution reactions (SEAr) morereluctantly but nucleophilic substitution (SNAr)more readily than benzene.

II. Electrophilic reagents attack preferably at the N-atom and at the b-C-atoms, while nucleophilicreagents prefer the a- and c-C-atoms.

The following reactions can be predicted forpyridines on the basis of their electronic structure:

Page 92: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

92

In reactions which involve bond formation using thelone pair of electrons on the ring nitrogen, such asprotonation and quaternisation, pyridines behave justlike tertiary aliphatic or aromatic amines.

Electrophilic Addition at Nitrogen

Reactions of Pyridine

When a pyridine reacts as abase or a nucleophile itforms a pyridinium cation inwhich the aromatic sextet isretained and the nitrogenacquires a formal positivecharge.

Page 93: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

93

Protonation at Nitrogen

Nitration at Nitrogen

Pyridines form crystalline,frequently hygroscopic,salts with most protic acids.

This occurs readily byreaction of pyridineswith nitronium salts,such as nitroniumtetrafluoroborate.

Protic nitrating agents such as nitric acid of courselead exclusively to N-protonation.

Acid chlorides and arylsulfonic acids react rapidlywith pyridines generating 1-acyl- and 1-arylsulfonylpyridinium salts in solution.

Alkylation at nitrogen

Alkyl halides and sulfates react readily with pyridinesgiving quaternary pyridinium salts.

Page 96: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

96

Electrophilic substitution at Carbon atoms of the pyridine ring

Electrophilic substitution of pyridines at a carbon isvery difficult. Two factors seem to be responsible forthis unreactivity:

I. Pyridine ring is less nucleophilic than the benzenering; nitrogen ring atom is more electronegativethan carbon atoms and therefore it pulls electronsaway from the carbon atoms inductively leaving apartial plus on the carbon atoms.

Page 97: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

97

II. When pyridine compound is exposed to an acidicmedium, it forms pyridinium salt. This increasesresistance to electrophilic attack since the reactionwill lead to doubly positive charged species.

Less reactive than pyridine

Page 98: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

98

When an electrophile attacks the pyridine ring, onlyposition 3 is attacked.

Hint: draw resonance structures that result fromelectrophilic attack at various positions. The positivecharge residing on an electronegative element withsextet configuration is unfavoured.

Why?

For example, 3-bromopyridine is formed whenpyridine is reacted with bromine in the presence ofoleum (sulfur trioxide in conc. sulfuric acid) at 130°C.

Mechanism of bromination of pyridine

101

Pyridine can be activated to electrophilicsubstitution by conversion to pyridine-N-oxides.

A series of preparatively interesting reactions onpyridine can be carried out by means of pyridine N-oxides such as the introduction of certain functionsinto the ring and side-chain which cannot beachieved in the parent system by direct methods.

Page 102: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

102

The activating oxygen atom can be removed byreacting the pyridine N-oxide withphosphorous trichloride.

Page 103: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

103

In such reactions there is a balance between electronwithdrawal, caused by the inductive effect of the oxygenatom, and electron release through resonance from thesame atom in the opposite direction. Here, the resonanceeffect is more important, and electrophiles react at C-2(6)and C-4.

Page 104: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

Thionyl chloride, for example, gives a mixture of 2-and 4-chloropyridine N-oxides in which the 4-isomeris predominant.

105

However, pyridine N-oxide reacts with aceticanhydride first to give 1-acetoxypyridinium acetateand then, on heating, to yield 2-acetoxypyridinethrough an addition-elimination process.

Page 106: Dr. Solomon Derese...We will study the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds i.e. Cyclic organic compounds containing not just carbon atoms, but oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur etc. Dr. Solomon

106

When a similar reaction is carried out upon the 2,3-dimethyl analogue, the acetoxy group rearrangesfrom N-1 to the C-2 methyl group, at 1800C, to form2-acetoxymethyl-3-methylpyridine.
