The mechanism of the direct amination of pyridines is discussed in terms of both addition–elimination and elimination–addition pathways. The absence of deuterium kinetic isotope effects as well as the orientations observed in such reactions rule out the intervention of 2,3- or 2,6-dehydropyridines. The effect of a 3-methyl group upon the reactivities towards the amide ion of the various nuclear positions in pyridine has been determined. Predictions based on molecular orbital (m.o.) calculations are discussed in terms of the detailed mechanism of this reaction and of the orientations observed.
