Protonation and Solvation of Weak Organic Bases. I. Basicity of ω‐Chloroacetophenones
The protonation equilibria of ω‐chloroacetophenone and some p‐substituted derivates have been studied in the acid system H2O/H2SO4/SO3 by u.v. and 1H‐n.m.r. spectroscopy. From the determined H0 values for half‐protonation pKBH+ values were calculated by means of the solvation parameters m of YATES and McCLELLAND. The (H0)1/2 and the pKBH+ values were successfully correlated with σp and σp+ substituent constants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
