The carbonyl stretching frequencies correlate well with substituent constants in a series of 166 1,3-indanediones using improved and extended Seth-Paul-Van Duyse equation. Transmissive factors and group electronegativities have been used to find empirical equations for calculation of substituent constants of more complex structural fragments.

The second-order rate constants k2 (dm3 mol-1 s-1) for the alkaline hydrolysis of substituted alkyl benzoates C6H5CO2R have been measured spectrophotometrically in aqueous 0.5 M Bu4NBr at 50 and 25 °C (R = CH3, CH2Cl, CH2CN, CH2C≡CH, CH2C6H5, CH2CH2Cl, CH2CH2OCH3, CH2CH3) and in aqueous 5.3 M NaClO4 at 25 °C (R = CH3, CH2Cl, CH2CN, CH2C≡CH). The dependence of the alkyl substituent effects on different solvent parameters was studied using the following equations:      ∆ log k = c0 + c1σI + c2EsB + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6∆EσI + c7∆YσI + c8∆PσI     ∆ log k = c0 + c1σ* + c2EsB + c3∆E + c4∆Y + c5∆P + c6∆Eσ* + c7∆Yσ* + c8∆Pσ* .  ∆ log k = log kR - log kCH3. σI and σ* are the Taft inductive and polar substituent constants. E, Y and P are the solvent electrophilicity, polarity and polarizability parameters, respectively. In the data treatment ∆E = ES - EH2O , ∆Y = YS - YH2O , ∆P = PS - PH2O were used. The solvent electrophilicity, E, was found to be the main factor responsible for changes in alkyl substituent effects with medium. When σI constants were used, variation of the polar term of alkyl substituents with the solvent electrophilicity E was found to be similar to that observed earlier for meta and para substituents, but twice less when σ* constants were used. The steric term for alkyl substituents was approximately independent of the solvent parameters.

Ten 4,4'-disubstituted bis(arenesulfon)imides of the general formula XC6H4SO2NHSO2C6H4X have been synthesized and their structures confirmed by their 1H NMR spectra. Elemental analyses are presented for the compounds not yet described. The dissociation constants of these model substances have been measured potentiometrically in pyridine, dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol, propylene carbonate, acetone, acetonitrile, 1,2-dichloroethane and tetramethylene sulfone. The pKHA values obtained have been correlated with three sets of the Hammett substituent constants and the results have been used to discuss the solvent and substituent effects on the dissociation of the compounds studied. Sulfonimides with electron-acceptor substituents behave as rather strong acids in some solvents (pyridine, dimethylformamide, methanol and ethanol), whereas normal substituent dependences are found in other solvents. The experimental data have also been interpreted with the help of the statistical methods based on latent variables. From the calculations it follows that only the first principal component, which correlates well with the substituent constant sets adopted, is statistically significant in describing the substituent effect on the acid-base process studied.

Infrared spectra in the frequency region 1300–1760 cm−1 are reported for 41 substituted sodium benzoates and 10 substituted sodium salicylates in deuterium oxide solution, and for 9 substituted salicylic acids in chloroform and carbon tetrachloride solutions. Carboxylate stretching frequencies of benzoates and salicylates correlate poorly with substituent constants, but the asymmetric frequencies of benzoates and salicylates correlate well with each other, and the asymmetric frequencies of benzoates correlate well with the asymmetric frequencies of the corresponding nitrobenzenes. It is suggested that, among substituted aromatic compounds, group vibrations which couple with the ring vibrations may correlate well with similar vibrations of other groups, but not with coupled vibrations of different symmetry, uncoupled vibrations, or substituent constants. Chelation in chloroform solutions of salicylic acid dimers can be detected by its influence on substituent effects, but infrared spectra provide no good evidence for chelation in aqueous sodium salicylates.

2-Aryl-2-methoxy-5,5-dimethyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines (4) and 5-aryl-2-methoxy-2,5-dimethyl-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolines (5) were synthesized. Compounds 4 decompose in solution with first order kinetics. Rate constants are correlated with Hammett substituent constants (σ−) with ρ(49.2 °C) = 0.74 and 0.89 for CCl4, and CD3OD, respectively. The final products from 4 indicate that thermolysis involves the cleavage of both C—N bonds, to form N2 and, initially, a carbonyl ylide. Compounds 5, which were obtained as mixtures of cis/trans isomers containing several impurities, and which therefore gave poorer kinetic data, decomposed in CDCl3 solution with [Formula: see text] Carbonyl ylide intermediates, similar to those from the closelyrelated compounds 4, were assumed on the basis of analogy and on the basis of partial identification of products. The effects of para substituents in the aryl groups of 4 and 5 show that the transition states have greater electron density at C-2 of 4 and at C-5 of 5 than do the starting materials. In spite of the increase in electron density at C-2 of 4, the transition state must be less polar, overall, than the ground state because rate constants for thermolysis of 4 in methanol are smaller than those for CCl4, solvent. A plausible explanation for the substituent effects and the solvent effects is that the loss of N2 is concerted, with a transition state resembling more closely a spin paired 1,3-diradical than a 1,3-dipole. Alternative stepwise mechanisms, in which C2—N3 bond scission of 4 and C5—N4 bond scission of 5 are the rate-determining steps, leading to 1,5-diradical intermediates, can not be excluded on the basis of the evidence.

The fundamental carbonyl stretching frequencies for o-, m-, and p-substituted acetophenones in dilute CCl4 solution are correlated with the electrophilic substituent constant σ+ by the expression vc=o (cm−1) = 11.53σ+ + 1691.5 (n = 27, correlation coefficient = 0.988, standard deviation = 1.2 cm−1). The frequencies of carbonyl groups trans to an o-substituent follow this correlation, assuming σo+ ≈ σp+, while those oriented cis to the substituent generally do not. Deviations from this correlation are interpreted in terms of dipole–dipole interactions, steric hindrance to planarity, intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and non-additivity of σ+ values for some combinations of substituents. The carbonyl frequencies for singly m- and p-substituted acetophenones are also correlated with the polar and resonance components of σ+ by the expression vc=o (cm−1) = 15.66σI + 10.99σR+ + 1689.8 (n = 13, correlation coefficient = 0.981, standard deviation = 0.9 cm−1). Thus the sensitivity of the carbonyl frequency to the polar effect is greater than to the resonance effect. In ω-substituted acetophenones no precise correlation with polar substituent constants is observed.

Seventeen p-substituted N-phenylsulfonylbenzamides of general formulas XC6H4SO2NHCOC6H5 and C6H5SO2NHCOC6H4X have been synthesized and their structure has been confirmed by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectra. The dissociation constants of all the compounds have been measured by potentiometric titration in methanol, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and pyridine. The obtained pKHA values have been correlated with three sets of Hammett substituent constants using simple or double linear regression. The solvent and substituent effects are discussed on the basis of experimental results, and the difference between the substituent effects from sulfonamide and benzamide sections is evaluated. It has been found that due to the extensive delocalization of negative charge in the conjugated base the transmission effects of carbonyl and sulfonyl groups on the transmission of substituent effect are roughly the same. The experimental data have been interpreted by the methods with latent variables: the principal component analysis (PCA), the conjugated deviation analysis (CDA), and the method of projection to latent structures (PLS). The results obtained by these procedures were similar.

Separation of the substituent effect ρσ into entropie ρSσS and enthalpic ρHσH contributions is presented within the framework of the general Hammett equation. Analysis of the experimental data for aromatic acids shows that, in general, entropie effects are the major contribution to the total substituent effect, the entropic reaction constant being approximately equal to the normal Hammett ρ A comparison of the present results with those based on a separation of inductive and resonance effects shows that the entropie and inductive effects are directly related. On the other hand, strongly resonance interacting substituents were found to be enthalpy controlled. The substituent effect on enthalpy and entropy changes is discussed from a molecular point of view and related to inductive and resonance effects. A list of 16 enthalpic (σH) and entropie (σS) substituent constants are presented.

AbstractThe second-order rate constants k for the alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of meta-, para- and ortho-substituted benzoic acids, X-C6H4CO2C6H5, in aqueous 50.9% acetonitrile have been measured spectrophotometrically at 25°C. The log k values for meta and para derivatives correlated well with the Hammett σm,p substituent constants. The log k values for ortho-substituted phenyl benzoates showed good correlations with the Charton equation, containing the inductive, σI, resonance, σ○ R, and steric, E s B, and Charton υ substituent constants. For ortho derivatives the predicted (log k X)calc values were calculated with equation (log k ortho)calc = (log k H AN)exp + 0.059 + 2.19σI + 0.304σ○ R + 2.79E s B − 0.0164ΔEσI — 0.0854ΔEσ○ R, where DE is the solvent electrophilicity, ΔE = E AN — E H20 = −5.84 for aqueous 50.9% acetonitrile. The predicted (log k X)calc values for phenyl ortho-, meta- and para-substituted benzoates in aqueous 50.9% acetonitrile at 25°C precisely coincided with the experimental log k values determined in the present work.The substituent effects from the benzoyl moiety and aryl moiety were compared by correlating the log k values for the alkaline hydrolysis of phenyl esters of substituted benzoic acids, X-C6H4CO2C6H5, in various media with the corresponding log k values for substituted phenyl benzoates, C6H5CO2C6H4-X.

The half-wave reduction potentials, measured by cyclic voltammetry, and n,π* triplet energies, measured by phosphorescence spectroscopy, were determined for a series of eighteen symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted benzophenones. Attempts are made to correlate the results with Hammett substituent constants. Better correlations are observed when the data are correlated with a two-parameter function consisting of Hammett substituent constants and a set of substituent parameters describing variations in free radical stability. Significant deviations from "normal" behaviour are observed for benzophenones substituted by both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents. These deviations are attributed to merostabilization of the radical-like species, and an empirical approach designed to evaluate the importance of this effect is developed. Abinitio calculations of molecular orbital energies in meta- and para-substituted benzaldehydes are used to evaluate the substituent effects on E1/2red and ETn,π* in terms of the effect on the energies of the n- and π*-orbitals.
