Chichibabin reaction
The Tschitschibabin reaction (also Tschitschibabin amine reaction) is a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction for the production of 2- , 4-aminopyridines or -quinolines and was first described in 1914 by Alexei Evgenjewitsch Tschitschibabin .
In this case, in an activated for nucleophilic attack is heteroaromatic a hydrogen atom substituted. The nucleophilic substitution is carried out on heteroaromatics , the electron density of which is reduced by inductive and mesomeric effects .
mechanism
The reaction (here using the example of the synthesis of 2-aminopyridine substituted in the ortho- , meta- or para- position with the radical R ) proceeds according to an addition-elimination mechanism :
- In the first step from which it is sodium amide derived amide ion attached to the carbon atom, where the negative charge is stabilized by the nitrogen.
- In the next step, a hydride ion is split off , which is then protonated by the amino group to form hydrogen.
- Finally, the 2-aminopyridine is released from its anion by adding water.
