(matrix presented) The protonation of heterocyclic diazotates (attachment adjacent to a nitrogen atom) yields ring-centered heterocyclic carbocations that are highly reactive. The carbocations were found to alkylate aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, such as benzene, N-methylpyrrole, and 2-aminopyridine, in reactions that are synthetically useful. This carbocation involvement may serve as a paradigm for the cross-linking of DNA by nitrous acid and the anticancer activity of heterocyclic diazotates.

Reaction of N-fluoropyridinium triflate with a base in dichloromethane gave 2-chloropyridine as the major product along with 2-pyridyl triflate and 2-fluoropyridine, regardless of the nature of the base. This base-initiated reaction was also shown to take place similarly in other halogenated alkanes, ethers, a nitrile, aromatics, a ketone, vinyl ethers, alcohols and trimethylsilyl acetate as solvents to give pyridine derivatives substituted with a solvent molecule (s) at the 2-position. N-(Trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)-and (benzenesulfonyloxy) pyridinium salts were found to undergo the same base-initiated reaction. These reactions may be explained by a postulated singlet carbene (canonical formula 11b) produced through proton abstraction of N-substituted pyridinium salts. A similar carbene reaction may thus likely occur in the thermal decomposition of thiatriazole 10. Ab initio MO calculations revealed the structure and properties of the labile deprotonated N-fluoropyridinium cation and supported the carbene intermediate reaction mechanism rather than a pyridynium or pyridyl cation mechanism. Quarroz's reports on the reactions of picolinic acid N-oxide and the reported reactions of pyridines with F2, CH3COOF or CsSO4F in solvents may be explained by this carbene mechanism.
Utilizing Acetyl Hypofluorite for Chlorination, Bromination, and Etherification of the Pyridine System

Acetyl hypofluorite, which is easily made from F2, possesses a strong electrophilic fluorine.This electrophile is able to attach itself to the nitrogen atom of pyridine and activate the ring toward nucleophilic attacks.The ultimate elimination of HF results in an overall easy nucleophilic displacement of the hydrogen of the important 2-position .The nucleophiles used: Clδ-, Brδ-, ROδ-, originate from solvents such as CH2Cl2, CH2Br2, and various primary alcohols.Thus, 2-halo- or 2-alkoxypyridines were formed.The reaction conditions (room temperature, very short reaction times, and good yields) transform the task of direct substitution of the pyridine ring from an extremely difficult to a very easy procedure.
Chlorination, Bromination, and Oxygenation of the Pyridine Ring Using AcOF Made from F2
Hebel, David,Rozen, Shlomo
, p. 1123 - 1125 (2007/10/02)
Acetyl hypofluorite reacts with pyridines in halogenated solvents or alcohols to give the corresponding 2-halo- or 2-alkoxypyridines.
