A plot of C–OR bond distance against pKa(ROH) for esters and ether derivatives of the antiperiplanar β-silyl alcohol (4) has a slope of –5.310–3. This represents a stronger response of the C–OR distance than was observed for the corresponding gauche β-silyl alcohol (5) and its derivatives. This result is consistent with the greater donor ability of a C–Si bond compared with a C–C bond. Comparison of these plots with those previously reported for derivatives (3) of tetrahydropyran-2-ol reveals that a C–Si bond is a weaker donor than an oxygen non-bonded pair of electrons. An estimate of the pKa value for 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfenic acid (14) was derived from these plots.

Eight ester and ether derivatives of propargyl alcohol with varying electron demand were structurally characterised using low temperature X-ray crystallography, these were combined with seven derivatives obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database. Variable oxygen probe analysis of these derivatives provided evidence that the ethynyl substituent is a relatively weak π-electron donor, and is a slightly less effective donor than the C–C bond of an ethyl substituent.

Low-temperature X-ray crystal structures were determined on a range of derivatives of 4-thiacyclohexanol 5a of varying electron demand with a view to finding evidence for a through-bond interaction between the sulfur lone pair and the oxygenated substituent. In contrast to earlier suggestions, plots of C–OR bond distance versus pKa (ROH) showed that any interaction between the sulfur and the OR group is unlikely to be of a through-bond origin. Furthermore, unimolecular solvolysis rate measurements on the nosylate ester derivative 5g showed that the sulfur actually retards the reaction slightly in comparison with the corresponding sulfur-free analogue 6.

The reactions of isatin-5-sulfonate anion (si-) which cause a hysteresis in pH titrations were studied by pH-metric and n.m.r, spectroscopic methods. Rapid alkalimetric titrations [I 0.15 M (KNO3),37�] gave the pKa value corresponding to the addition of OH- to si- [pKa(ring) 9.55]. The slow ring opening to the sulfonatoisatate dianion (sia2-) led to a drift of the pH values towards an equilibrium buffer region. Its pKa, value [pKa(eq) 3.44] corresponds to the reaction si-+H2O ↔ sia 2-+H+ Rapid back-titration gave the pKa value of the ring-opened species Hsia- [pKa(open) c. 1.3]. The rate law for the ring opening d[sia]/dt=k2 [siOH](OH)+k1*[si] was obtained from the rate of change of pH. N-Methylisatin-5-sulfonate behaves analogously.
