- Both pyridine and pyrrole are nitrogen containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds. When treated with HCl, only pyridine forms the hydrochloride salt, where as pyrrole is unreactive. What is the best explanation for this observed reactivity.arrow_forwardDeduce the structures of compound A,B,C and Darrow_forwardCompound A reacts with 1 molar equivalent(s) of hydrogen upon catalytic hydrogenation. A undergoes reaction with ozone, followed by Zn treatment, to give: Propose a structure for A.arrow_forward
