Question

Why is substitution at the c3 position in pyridine favored over the c2 position in EAS reactions?

Accepted Answer

Substitution at c3 avoids destabilizing positive charge development on nitrogen.

Substitution at c3 stabilizes the negative charge on nitrogen.

Answer

Substitution at c3 results in a more stable carbocation compared to c2.
