Kinetic studies of acid deuterium exchange have been carried out for a series of isomeric 6-, 7-, 8-methoxyquinolines and their N-oxides, in comparison with the analogous carbocyclic compounds. It has been found that methoxyquinolines are deuterated in the N-protonated form, whereas the N-oxides are reactive in their neutral forms. In full agreement with data for the reactivity of these heterocycles in nitration, quantum chemical calculations show that in exchange in 6-methoxyquinoline and its N-oxide the preferred site for electrophilic attack is the 5-position, and in the 7-isomers the 8-position is preferred. The rate is lower in the 8-isomer, owing to the presence in the latter of intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The probable structure of the transition state in the reaction is discussed.
