1,3-Dipolar character of six-membered aromatic rings. Part XX. Preparation and dimerisation of 1-(5-nitro-2-pyridyl)- and 1-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-3-oxidopyridinium
Abstract
The title betaines form dimers, the structures and stereochemistry of which are elucidated. The regio- and stereoselectivity of dimer formation are rationalised and the variation of reactivity of 3-oxidopyridinium betaines with their substitution patterns is discussed in MO terms.
