Both pyridine and pyrrole are nitrogen containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds. When treated with HCI, only pyridine forms a hydrochloride salt, whereas pyrrole is unreactive Which of the following is not a valid explanation for this observed reactivity? pyridine ругrole O The lone pair on pyridine is not part of the aromatic system. O The lone pair on pyridine can be protonated without disrupting the aromatic stability. O The lone pair on pyrrole is sp hybridized and is less prone to protonation. O Protonation of pyrrole leads to a nonaromatic cation, which is less stable. O The lone pair on pyrrole is involved in making the compound aromatic and thus is less susceptible to protonation.

Enanthotoxin is an extremely poisonous organic compound found in hemlock water drop- wart, which is reputed to be the most poisonous plant in England. It is believed that no British plant has been responsible for more fatal accidents. The most poisonous part of the plant is the roots, which resemble small white carrots, giving the plant the name"five finger death."Also poisonous are its leaves, which look like parsley. Enanthotoxin is thought to interfere with the Nat current in nerve cells, which leads to convulsions and death. он How many stereoisomers are possible for enanthotoxin?
