Complete the following proposed acid–base reactions, and predict whether the reactants or products are favored.
Solution 35SP
(a)
The completed acid-base reaction is:
The forward reaction towards the formation of products is favored as the pyridinium ion is more stabilized.
(b)
The completed acid-base reaction is:
The backward reaction towards the formation of reactants is more favored as the free amine is more stabilized.
(c)
The completed acid-base reaction is:
The forward reaction towards the formation of products is favored as the pyridinium ion is more stabilized.
(d)
The completed acid-base reaction is:
The backward reaction towards the formation of reactants is more favored as the free amine is more stabilized.
