aromatic isomers
« on: February 11, 2009, 10:07:00 PM »
Name and draw the structures of six compounds that have the formula C6H7N, a five or a six membered ring, and are aromatic.

I already have aniline and 3 forms of methylpyridine, I have been thinking about the last 2 for over an hour I need help I was thinking of some kind of five memebered ring where N is one of the vertexes instead of carbon and ch3 is connected the N but idk if this possible?! someone please help

Think about possible pyrrole derivatives.  Figure out your elements of unsaturation, it will help you decide what you have left to add.

Actually, there are 3!  You can also have the ethene on the nitrogen as well.
