Pyrrole(likewise Furanand Thiophene)


is non-basic
its electron lone pair is involved in π cloud

3.1.1.Reactivity and Orientation

reaction occur mainly in 2-position
extra canonical involved in substitution at the 2-position

3.2.

Six Membered Rings

Pyridine is very different from pyrrole:






aromatic
resonance energy 23 kcal/mol
uses only 1electron in π cloud
acts as a base
undergoes nucleophilic substitution
highly deactivated (ring nitrogen similar to nitro-substituent); 3-position

3.2.1.Reactivity and Orientation

also for ortho attack
destabilising
no such destabilisation for meta attack!
