Charton has recently examined substituent effects in the ortho position in benzene derivatives and in the a-position in pyridines, quinolines, and isoquinolines. He concludes that, in benzene derivatives, the effects in the ortho position are proportional to the effects in the para position op). However, he finds that effects of a-sub-stituents on reactions involving the sp lone pair of the nitrogen atoms in pyridine, quinoline, and isoquinoline are approximately proportional to CT -values, or possibly to inductive effects (Taft s a ). He also notes that the effects of substituents on proton-deuterium exchange in the ortho position of substituted benzenes are comparable to the effects of the same substituents in the a-position of the heterocycles. 

In the case of the synthesis of 10,19,19,19-2H4-vitamin A, the most useful for biological studies, three deuterium atoms were incorporated into /i-ionone 30, in >98% by deuterium exchange with excess D2O in the presence of Na02H (and pyridine). The tri-deuteriated 30, utilized in Wittig-Horner reaction with dideuterio triethyl phosphonate, provided tetradeuteriated ethyl /J-ionilidene acetate 31 with more than 98% 2H4 (by NMR). No deuterium loss in the subsequent synthetic steps was observed as evidenced by MS and NMR analysis. 

In the aqueous pH region the mechanism for hydrogen-deuterium exchange in pyridine involves attack of deuteroxide ion on the pyridin-ium ion to give an ylide intermediate (Scheme 8). The ylide then reacts with D2O to give the deuterated p30 idine. In more basic media the proposed mechanism involves rate-determining deprotonation from the neutral molecule to give a carbanion intermediate which then abstracts a deuteron from the solvent (Scheme 9). 

Little work has been reported. From studies of proton/deuterium exchange rates, 2-methylpyrrolo[2,l-6]thiazole (478) was estimated to have a pKa of 6.4,394 a value comparable with that of 2-methylindolizine (pKa = 5.9).394 In the same way, the basicity of 3,4-dimethylimidazo-[l,5-a]benzimidazole (468b) (pA = 6.01) resembles that of imidazo-[l,2-a]pyridines (pA = 5.05-5.96).398 It would seem, therefore, that the basicity of azapentalenes parallels that of related indolizine derivatives [Eq. (40)]. 

LC-ESI-MS and LC-APCI-MS experiments involving HDX were carried out on a TSQ Quantum mass spectrometer. All labile protons, in DL, 6-OH-DL, 3-OH-DL, A-OH-DL, and 1-pyridine-A-oxide-DL, underwent complete deuterium exchange. C-Hydroxylated compounds (6-OH-DL, 3-OH-DL) underwent a total of three HDXs, while A-oxidc and the hydroxylamine exchanged only two protons. 

The fluorination of quinoline was performed in a microstructured reactor operated in the annular-flow regime, which contained one microchannel with two consecutive feeds for gas and liquid [311,312]. The role of the solvent was large. The reaction was totally unselective in acetonitrile and gave only tarlike products. With formic acid, a mixture of mono- and polyfluorinated products besides tar was formed. No tar formation was observed with concentrated sulfuric acid as solvent at 0-5 °C. In this way, a high selectivity of about 91% at medium conversion was achieved. Substitution was effective only in the electron-rich benzenoid core and not in the electron-poor pyridine-type core. The reactivity at the various positions in the quinoline molecule is 5 > 8 > 6 and thus driven by the vicinity to the heteroatom nitrogen that corresponds to the electrophilic reactivity known from proton/deuterium exchange studies in strong acid media. 

Rate studies of hydrogen-deuterium exchange in thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridine (384) in MeOH-di show that the proton at C-2, which is in the most active position, is exchanged at almost the same rate as in 5-nitrobenzothiazole and about 10 times as fast as in 5-methylben-zothiazole. The polar effects are said to be transmitted primarily through N-3 (76T399). This suggests that azines with a nitrogen atom in a position ortho or para to N-3 should be even more activated at C-2.
