Why pyridine is more basic than pyrrole? In simple words, we can say that the lone pair of nitrogen in pyrrole will be in resonance, so it cannot be donated, whereasthe lone pair of nitrogen in pyridine is localizedand hence, it can easily donate hydrogen ions. Therefore, pyridine is mor...
This makes it appear that the "pyrrole-like" N is an electron donor, but the "pyridine-like" N is an electron withdrawing group. Logged sharbeldam Full Member Posts: 344 Mole Snacks: +8/-2 Re: Why is the " Pyrolle like " is electron withdrawing group? « Reply #2 on: ...
