Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
2-Benzylpyridazine, 4-benzylpyrimidine, 2-benzylpyrimidine and 2-benzylpyrazine, (5-8), have been prepared in order to study their C and N spectra and those of their conjugate carbanions (1-4). These systems are aza-homologues of the previously reported benzylpyridines and have been considered to evaluate the effect of aza-substitution upon rotational isomerism and charge maps in the anions. Two synthetic approaches have been followed: (i) decarboxylation of α-(heteroaryl)phenylacetic acids, in turn obtained by nucleophilic substitution of phenylacetonitrile anion on the pertinent halogenoazine (or a correspondingly available derivative); (ii) by nucleophilic substitution of benzyl(tributylphosphonium)ylide on the pertinent halogenoazine. The C and N NMR data for 1-4 indicate that, at room temperature, there is slow rotation about the bond between the carbanionic carbon and the carbon atom of the heterocycle: this generates geometrical isomerism in the anions 1-4. The NMR data are treated with the π-charge-shift equations (1)-(4) to obtain the local variations of the π-electron density. By evaluating, in anions 1-4, the fraction of π-charge transferred to the heterocycle from the carbanionic carbon it is possible to obtain the charge demands, c of the heterocycles, and thus rank them on the same scale as primary organic functionalities. It is found that the 4-pyrimidyl is the strongest electron-withdrawing heterocyclic residue, comparable with the acetyl group.
