Textbook Question
Chapter 18.8, Problem 13P
Instead of adding to the 4a-position and protonating N-5, the thiolate ion could have added to the 10a-position and protonated N-1. Why is addition to the 4a-position favored? (Hint: Which nitrogen is a stronger base?)

O Reverse direction is favored because nitrogen is more electronegative, making B the weaker base and D the stronger acid.
O Forward direction is favored because nitrogen is more electronegative, making B the weaker base and D the stronger acid.
O Reverse direction is favored because carbon is less electronegative, making C the weaker base and A the stronger acid.
