Hydrogen exchange, alkylation and acylation of potentially tautomeric methyl and methylidene derivatives of pyridine and diazines

Abstract

Data on the deuteration, alkylation and acylation reactions of potentially tautomeric methyl and methylidene derivatives of pyridine, pyrimidine and pyrazine in media of varying acidity and basicity have been collated. Whether these reactions occur via the aromatic tautomers, the more reactive methylidene tautomers or predominantly by generation of mesomeric anions from both tautomers is examined.
