The dissociation constants of two series of 4- and 6-styryl-2-aminotropones were measured spectrophotometrically in 50% aqueous methanol at 20°C. It was found that Hammett’s free energy relationship is applied to the analysis of substituent effects, with ρ=0.59 and 0.40, respectively, and that there is a difference between the electronic effects of the two isomers.
