Question
What is the role of pyridine in the acylation reaction of amines?
Advertisements
Solution
Pyridine is used in the acylation of amines because it acts as a strong base which helps in removing the side product \[\ce{HCl}\] from the reaction mixture. Therefore, it acts as an acceptor for the acid by-product formed during the reaction.
