As several of these compounds were interconverted by chemical means, it became recognized that all were derived from benzene or related compounds. To meet the criterion of a cyclic, planar, conjugated molecule, the oxygen and the nitrogen bearing the hydrogen must both be sp 2hybridized. Cyclic congugation increases the number of p orbital interactions in the conjugated system, stabilizing the pi bonds. Since lone pair electrons are in the aromatic ring, protonation destroys aromaticity, making pyrrole a very weak base pyrrole.
