Basicity in heterocycles a) yrrole (pk a = 7.) is more acidic than pyrrolidine (pk a ) because the anion of pyrrole is more stable than the anion of pyrrolidine. The higher acidity of pyrrole is due to the sp hybridization of the ; sp hybridized atoms have more s-character, hold electrons tighter and, in general, are more electronegative and more tolerant of negative charges than sp hybridized atoms and, thus, yield more stable anions. yrrole + pk a = 7. + + yrrolidine sp + pk a! + + sp b) The conjugate acid of pyrrole (pk a = 0.) is more acidic than the conjugate acid of pyrrolidine (pk a =.) because pyrrole is an aromatic compound while its conjugate acid is not. Deprotonation of the conjugate acid of pyrrole restores the aromaticity to the pyrrole ring with a significant increase in stability. Such gain in stability does not occur in the deprotonation of pyrrolidine, an aliphatic amine. conjugate acid of pyrrole: pk a = 0. + aromatic + conjugate acid of pyrrolidine: + + pk a =. aliphatic c) yrimidine (pk a conj. acid =.; pk b =.7) is less basic than pyridine (pk a conj. acid =.; pk b = 8.7) because the second atom in pyrimidine is electronwithdrawing and destabilizes the positively charged conjugate acid. It can also be explained by saying that the electron-withdrawing effect of the second makes the electron pair less prone to protonation. pyrimidine: + + pk b =.7 pyridine: + + pk b = 8.7 less stable than

In pyrimidine, a π-deficient ring, both atoms with their electron pairs outside the ring, are electron withdrawing and they mutually decrease their electron densities, making themselves less basic. In imidazole, on the other hand, with an electron pair inside the ring, donates electron density and increases the electron density on the other nitrogen,, making it more basic. pk a conj. acid = 6.9; pk b = 7.0 Imidazole electron donor pk a conj. acid =. pk b =.7 both are e-withdrawing yrimidine

Tautomers I and II are more stable than tautomers III and IV because in I and II each ring has 6 π electrons and is fully aromatic. In the resonance forms shown above for tautomers III and IV each ring does not have a ückel number of electrons (the pyrimidine + has 7 and the imidazole has π electrons), and therefore, each one separately cannot be considered aromatic, although the whole molecule is aromatic because it has 0 π electrons).
