The apparent pKa values of 44 substituted 2-naphthoic acids, six substituted 1-naphthoic acids, and the unsubstituted naphthoic acids have been determined for 50% v/v aqueous ethanol at 25�. The ΔpK values are examined in terms of Dewar and Grisdale's simple expression for aromatic substituent effects. This expression proves to be fairly satisfactory, but takes no account of substituent dipole orientation, secondary resonance effects, nor π-inductive effects. A survey of the naphthoic acid strengths demonstrates the importance of these factors. In particular, unambiguous evidence for the important role played by direct electrostatic interactions is obtained.

A dual substituent parameter analysis of substituent effects on the ionization of anti-arylazo ethyl ethers in ethanol shows that the reaction is affected primarily by inductive effects. The reaction is insensitive to resonance effects and an explanation for this behaviour is offered.

The Hammett correlations between 13C-NMR chemical shifts of the azomethine carbon atom and the corresponding substituent constants for thirtheen Schiff bases were established. Successful correlation of the chemical shifts with electrophilic substituent constants ?+ indicate significant resonance interaction of the substituents on the aniline ring with the azomethine carbon atom in the examined series of imines. The demand for electrons in the investigated compounds was compared to that of the N-benzylidenanilines and N-(phenyl substituted) pyridinealdimines. The way of transmission of the substituent effects was discussed and they are separated into resonance and inductive effects. Inductive effects prevail over resonance effects.

The relative δpKa values of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted N1,N1-dimethyl-N2-phenylformamidines obtained in 95.6% aqueous ethanol have been compared with those in water. The comparison shows only some differences in the ortho substituent effects. The meta and para substituent effects in ethanol are not very different from those in water. Quantitative analysis of the experimental δpKa values based on the Taft equation has led to separation of the total electromeric effects into the inductive and mesomeric effects. As compared to the amino group in anilines, the formamidine group is more sensitive to the transmission of the inductive than the mesomeric effects.

The second-order rate constants k (in dm3 mol–1 s–1) for alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of meta-, para- and ortho-substituted benzoic acids, X-C6H4CO2C6H5, have been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr at 25 °C. The substituent effects for para and meta derivatives were described using the Hammett relationship. For the ortho derivatives the Charton equation was used. For ortho-substituted esters two steric scales were involved: the EsB and the Charton steric (υ) constants. When going from pure water to aqueous 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr, the meta and para polar effects, the ortho inductive and resonance effects in alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of substituted benzoic acids, became stronger nearly to the same extent as found for alkaline hydrolysis of C6H5CO2C6H4-X. The steric term of ortho-substituted esters was almost independent of the media considered. The rate constants of alkaline hydrolysis of ortho-, meta- and para-substituted phenyl benzoates (X-C6H4CO2C6H5, C6H5CO2C6H4-X) and alkyl benzoates, C6H5CO2R, in water, 0.5 and 2.25 M Bu4NBr were correlated with the corresponding IR stretching frequencies of carbonyl group, (ΔνCO)X.

The principle of linear free energy relationships was applied to the 1H chemical shifts of the ?-vinyl proton atoms of 3-methylene-2-substituted-1,4-pentadienes. The correlations of the proton chemical shifts with Swain and Lupton substituent parameters provide a mutually consistent picture of the electronic effects in these compounds. The overall pattern of proton chemical shifts can be largely accounted for by a model of substituent effects based on field, resonance and ? polarization effects. Owing to the particular geometric arrangement of the vinyl group in 3-methylene-2-substituted-1,4-pentadienes, the ?-vinyl protons HB and HC have different sensitivities to polar and resonance effects. The different sensitivities of the 1H chemical shifts to resonance effects reveals some effects not predicted by the model outlined above. Evidence is presented that demonstrates that both the 1H and 13C chemical shifts for these compounds reflect their ground-state charge densities.
