Abstract: The abstraction hydrogen mechanism of pyridine reacted with chlorine radical consists of two elementary reactions. Both elementary reactions were studied of leading to three chlorinated products, searching for the TS location, calculating and comparing the activation barriers. The result show that the activation barrier of leading to 2-chloropyridine was the lowest of the three paths, the activation barriers of the two consequent elementary reactions were 8.33 and 1.51 kJ/mol, respectively, so 2-chloropyridine was the prior product. And the bond order, the net charge and IRC along ortho-path were also analyzed.

Key words: Pyridine, Photochemical chlorination, Transition state, IRC, PM3
