Triphenylphosphine and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate react with phenols in tetrahydrofuran or chloroform at 0° to give diaryloxytriphenylphosphoranes. A linear free-energy relationship has been found between the 31P n.m.r. chemical shifts of many of these phosphoranes and the acid dissociation constants of the corresponding phenols. In general, electron-withdrawing groups on the phenol result in downfield 31P n.m.r. chemical shifts, while electron donating groups result in up-field shifts.

Polarographic reduction of two series of benzoylacetanilides has been investigated in 40% (by volume) ethanolic Britton–Robinson buffers. One series (A) contains substituents on the anilide moiety, and the second (B) has substituents on both the anilide and benzoyl moieties. Polarographic controlled-potential electrolysis data indicate that the electroactive species in both series is the protonated form (ArCOCH2CONHAr′)H+. The reduction half-wave potentials of anilides of series A were found to be independent of the nature of the substituent, whereas those of series B show a good linear relationship when plotted vs. the σ substituent constant of the substituent on the benzoyl moiety (ρ = 0.284, r = 0.995). Values of the acid dissociation constants of the keto (K1) and enol (K2) tautomers of the anilides of series A were calculated; unlike their E1/2 values, the pK1 data show a linear correlation with the Hammett substituent constant, σ. The pK2 values show, however, little variation with σ.

The 29Si chemical shifts of several trimethyl silyl derivatives of amines and amides are measured and compared to other chemical and theoretical properties such as the basicities or the electronic charge on the nitrogen or the hydrogen of the N-H group of the amine or the amide. Whereas the 29Si chemical shift of saturated amines can be rationalized in terms of substituent effects, the shifts of aromatic amines show some dependency on the basic character of the amine. There seems to be little correlation between 29Si chemical shifts and electronic charge, but there is a similarity of 29Si with 1H chemical shifts of the NH group, which is interpreted as depending on anisotropy effects.

The purpose of this review is to introduce several computational procedures for the determination of acid-dissociation constants (pKa) of titratable groups in proteins. Several concepts, such as continuum electrostatics and the exact meaning of intrinsic and apparent pKas, will be explained in some detail. Each of the methods will be judged on its merits, and some comparisons between the methods will be presented. While the emphasis of this review will be on theoretical formulations, the experimental determination by means of nuclear magnetic resonance will be briefly explained. The determination of individual pKa values by nuclear magnetic resonance in combination with computationally determined pKas can provide unique information about the pH-dependent properties of proteins and their complexes with peptides, DNA, and ligands.Key words: acid-dissociation constants, NMR, continuum electrostatics, dielectric constant of proteins, Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics.
