Cytotoxin- Inhibits DNA-topoisomerase enzymes
Happy Tree(China)
Definition: Heterocyclic compounds are organic compounds that contain a ring structure containing atoms in addition to carbon, such as sulfur, oxygen or nitrogen, as the heteroatom. The ring may be aromatic or non-aromatic
Significance – Two thirds of all organic compounds are aromatic
heterocycles. Most pharmaceuticals are heterocycles.
Examples

When Is A Molecule Aromatic?• For a molecule to be aromatic it must:
• Be cyclic• Have a p-orbital on every atom in ring• Be planar• Posses 4n+2 p electrons (n = any integer)

Six Membered Heterocycles: Pyridine

Pyridine replaces the CH of benzene by a N atom (and a pair of electrons)

The least aromatic:The O atom is too electronegative
Can give addition, as well as substitution products when reacted with E+
Less reactive than pyrrole, but substitution always at 2-position
More aromatic than Furan
Electrophilic Substitution, not addition
Least reactive
Thiophene has similar reactivity to benzene
Avoid concentrated mineral acids or strong Lewis acids, e.g. AlCl3
