Structures of pyridones and pyrones Pyridines with an oxygen at either the 2- or 4-position exist predo- minantly as carbonyl tautomers, which are therefore known as pyridones. In the analogous oxygen systems, no alternative tautomer is possi- ble; the systems are known as pyrones. Pyrones are less aromatic than pyridones, as can be seen from their tendency to undergo addition reactions , and as would be expected from a consideration of the aromatic contributors, 25 and 27, which have a positively charged ring heteroatom, oxygen being less easily able to accommodate this requirement. 1.3.3 S
