Thermodynamic ionization constants of 2-t-butylphenol, 3-t-butylphenol, 4-t-butylphenol, 3,5-di-t-butylphenol, and 3,5-dimethoxyphenol have been measured in aqueous solution by an e.m.f./spectrophotometric method within the temperature range 5-60�C and the thermodynamic functions of ionization ΔG25, ΔH25, ΔS25, and ΔCp25 calculated. These results confirm the additivity of substituent effects noted previously for the ionization of 3,5-disubstituted phenols and indicate that this ionization process is relatively insensitive to steric effects.

Thermodynamic ionization constants of 3-ethoxyphenol; 3,5-diethoxyphenol, 3,5-dichlorophenol, 3,5-dibromophenol, 3,5-diiodophenol, and 3,5-dinitrophenol have been measured spectrophotometrically within the temperature range 5-60�, and the thermodynamic functions of ionization ΔG25, ΔH25, ΔS25, and ΔCp.25 calculated. These results, in conjunction with others measured previously, indicate that, for this reaction series, substituent effects on the free energies of ionization are precisely additive, and on the entropies of ionization closely additive. An assessment of the results in terms of Hepler's internal/external enthalpy theory is made.

Thermodynamic acidity constants of the meta-methoxyanilinium, meta- chloroanilinium, meta-bromoanilinium, and meta-iodoanilinium ions have been measured spectrophotometrically over the temperature range 5-50� and those of the meta-nitroanilinium ion over the temperature range 5-60�. The thermodynamic functions of ionization, ΔG25, ΔH25, ΔS25, and ΔCp,25, have also been calculated for each ion. For a series of seven meta-substituted anilinium ions the acidity constants show close obedience to the Hammett equation over the temperature range 10-50� with the reaction parameter p being a precise linear function of 1/T. The same reaction series also shows a well-defined isoequilibrium relationship of negative slope.

Equilibrium constants for hydrate–hemiacetal interconversion in aqueous solution at 25° have been measured for four fluorinated carbonyl compounds: compound, alcohol, K4 (M−1): CF3CHO, C2H5OH, 2.3; CF3COCH3, CH3OH, 1.0; CF3COPh, CH3OH, 3.5; CF3COCF3, CH3OH, 0.14. These values, combined with values from the literature, permit an examination of substituent effects upon the equilibrium constant for[Formula: see text]The free energy change for this process, corrected for symmetry and steric effects, follows the equation[Formula: see text]Thus electronic effects upon this equilibrium are generally small and in fact are often smaller than steric effects.This analysis permits and justifies the calculation of free energies of formation of [Formula: see text] compounds from the (more generally measurable) free energies of formation of the analogous [Formula: see text] compounds.

Ionization constants at 25 °C have been determined by a spectrophotometric method for 17 substituted salicylic acids. These have been fitted to the simple Hammett relationship and to the extended one proposed by Jaffe, which takes into account the transmission of substituent effects by the o-hydroxy group. The results with Jaffe's equation show that substituent effects on acidity are transmitted only slightly, if at all, through the intramolecular hydrogen bond of a chelate ring. Possible interpretations of the results are discussed.

Effects of bromine substituents on rates of acetate-catalyzed bromination of ketones are reported. Approximate polar contributions to the rates were obtained, based on the approximation that the steric effects of bromine and methyl are identical. Such polar substituent effects are quite large at the α′-position of an α-bromo ketone, leading to the conclusion that the carbonyl group is much better than the methylene group in transmitting polar effects.Rate enhancements caused by α-bromine substituents are largely entropic in origin and rates correlate well with ionization constants of α-bromo acids. These results are interpreted as indicative of an enolate-like transition state for acetate-catalyzed enolization.

Acidity constants of ammine complexes of tetravalent platinum in aqueous solutions have been determined by a spectrophotometric method at very low ionic strengths and extrapolated to zero ionic strength. Temperature variations of pK-values (25 °C and 50 °C) yield thermodynamic parameters for two successive deprotonation steps of hexaammineplatinum(IV), pentaamminechloroplatinum(IV), and tris(ethylenediamine)pla- tinum(IV) complexes and for the deprotonation of pentaammineaquacobalt(III) ion.The enthalpy changes for the first and second steps are similar and range from 50 to 75 kJ/mole while for the aqua ligand of Co(III) 33 kJ/mole are found. The very large dif­ference in the entropy changes (about 70 to 80 J/K mole for the first step and -10 to + 20 J/K mole for the second step) is interpreted by a model of solvation change. The primary hydration sphere of strongly oriented and immobilized water dipoles around the highly charged complex cation is transformed to a hydrogen-bonded solvation sheath when the electric field of the complex is weakened upon release of the first proton.

The conformational properties of 2-alkyl (Me, Et, i-Pr, and t-Bu) and 2-phenyl derivatives of 1,3-dioxa-5,6-benzocycloheptene (1) were studied by 13C dnmr. Analysis of slow exchange spectra at 100.6 MHz indicates that all derivatives except tert-butyl exist in an equilibrium of chair (major) and twist-boat (minor) conformations. Substituent effects on the position of the equilibrium are rationalized in terms of steric effects.
