Chichibabin reaction

Not to be confused with Chichibabin pyridine synthesis.

The Chichibabin reaction (pronounced ' (chē')-chē-bā-bēn) is a method for producing 2-aminopyridine derivatives by the reaction of pyridine with sodium amide. It was reported by Aleksei Chichibabin in 1914. The following is the overall form of the general reaction:

The direct amination of pyridine with sodium amide takes place in liquid ammonia. Following the addition elimination mechanism first a nucleophilic NH₂^- is added while a hydride (H^-) is leaving.

Before the Chichibabin reaction, only electrophilic substitution on the pyridine ring was possible, which is difficult because pyridine is an electron-poor aromatic compound and additionally forms positive charged pyridinum ions, which further decrease the probability of an electrophile attack. The positions in the pyridine system attacked by the electrophiles are the 3rd and the 5th position.

The Chichibabin reaction is a nucleophilic substitution on the pyridine ring; the 2nd and 6th positions are therefore favoured over the other positions. The amino nucleophile attacks the carbon
