Three model compounds have been selected to study the relationship between ortho and para substitution: benzoic acid, phenol, and aniline. Sixteen substituents have been chosen involving also those capable of potential interaction between ortho substituent and the reaction centre. For the combinations given, literature presents 25 pairs of data obtained by measuring a particular process for both the ortho and para substituted derivatives. The missing dissociation constants of 16 ortho substituted benzoic acids in water and ethanol and 16 para substituted benzoic acids in dimethyl sulfoxide and pyridine have been measured by potentiometric titration. The data matrices were submitted to analysis by the methods of projection of latent structures (PLS) and principal component analysis (PCA). It has been found that the substituent effects from ortho and para positions have the same character unless the ortho substituents interact with the reaction centre. Such interactions can change the experimentally found value by as much as 20% of its magnitude. The most significant interaction is a hydrogen bond formation. Out of the three models studied the most extensive interactions are present in benzoic acid, whereas almost none were observed in aniline. The capability of donation of electron pair to a hydrogen bond decreases in the substituent series COCH3 > SO2CH3 > NO2. The capability of donation of proton to a hydrogen bond with electron-pair donor decreases in the substituent series OH > NHCOCH3 ≈ SH > NH2 > SO2NH2.

Eleven symmetrically 2,6-disubstituted benzoic acids (with the following substituents: OCH3, OC2H5, OC3H7, OCH(CH3)2, OC4H9, CH3, F, Cl, Br, I, and NO2) have been synthesized and their dissociation constants measured potentiometrically in methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, propan-2-ol, butan-2-ol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, pyridine, and 1,2-dichloroethane. The experimental data obtained have been analyzed from the point of view of solvent effects on acidity of the individual derivatives. Different behaviour found with benzoic acid and the disubstituted derivatives in protic solvents is due to changes in solvation. The different character of solvation of benzoic acid and the disubstituted derivatives depends on the type of substitution, being manifested only in 2,6-disubstituted benzoic acids. The graphical analysis has shown a distinct trend in the increase of magnitude of deviation of the point of benzoic acid in the series: propan-2-ol, butan-2-ol, propan-1-ol, ethanol, methanol. This order correlates with the steric demands of carbon chain of the alcohols used. The abnormal behaviour of benzoic acid in the dissociation in these alcohols as compared with that of its 2,6-disubstituted derivatives is due to the different extent of solvation of the reaction centre caused by steric hindrance. Against the expectation, benzoic acid appears to be a weaker acid in protic solvents, whereas its alkoxy derivatives are stronger acids. The solvation also minimizes the inductive effect of alkoxy groups in the symmetrically 2,6-disubstituted derivatives. In aprotic solvents the acidity of 2,6-dialkoxybenzoic acids is also increased, in this case as a result of sterically forced deviation of the reaction centre and/or the substituents out of the plane of benzene ring.

The dissociation constants of nineteen ortho substituted benzoic acids have been determined in eight organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, pyridine, 1,2-dichloroethane). The correlation between the σI, σR, and υ constants were unsuccessful due to neglecting the description of intramolecular hydrogen bond effect. The method of conjugated deviations has been applied to the results obtained and to those given in literature for ortho substituted benzoic acids (the dissociation constants, the reaction with diphenyldiazomethane, 33 sets), and values of three types of substituent constants have been determined for 29 substituents. The first of these substituent constants, σoi, describes the electronic effects and was adjusted with the application of the isoparameter relation (σoi as a function of σmi) suggested in previous communications. This constant (after excluding the substituents NHCOCH3 and OCOCH3) correlates very well (R = 0.993) with the σI and σR constants. The second substituent constant, σHGi, describes the interaction of the reaction centre (the oxygen atom of carboxylate anion) with the substituent, and it has non-zero values for the substituents OH, SH, NH2, NHCH3, NHCOCH3, COOH, CONH2, and SO2NH2. The third substituent constant, σSi, describes the steric effects and is not significantly related to any of the known quantities of this type. The set given was tested together with the triad of σI, σR, and υ on the definition set and on a set extended by other 28 sets of processes with ortho substituted compounds. On the whole, the set of substituent constants suggested explains 94.6% of variability of data, whereas only 66.0% are explained with the use of σI, σR, and u constants. Moreover, the tests have shown that the σoi constant is not suitable for interpretations of processes involving direct conjugation between the reaction centre and substituent.

Ten 2,6-disubstituted benzoic acids have been synthesized containing all possible combinations of the following substituents: CH3, OCH3, Cl, and NO2. The dissociation constants of these acids have been measured by potentiometric titration in methanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, pyridine, and 1,2-dichloroethane. The experimental data obtained together with the pK values of 2-substituted benzoic acids in the same solvents have been analyzed from the point of view of ortho effect and additivity of disubstitution. The mutual interaction between substituents was found to represent only 0.12% of the variability due to substitution and to contribute to the overall variability of data less than the interaction between the substituent and solvent by a factor of about 13. The analysis of data by the method of multiple linear regression revealed a contribution of steric effects beside the effects transmitted through the aromatic skeleton. The 2- and 6-substituents effects are additive within the validity of the Hammett equation, and an addition of a multiplicative term describing interactions between the substituents is statistically insignificant. Nonlinear regression has been adopted in the additive model with multiplicative term to find the inner substituent constants including all the effects of substituents from ortho position: the term describing the interaction between 2- and 6-substituents is statistically insignificant in this model. An application of the method of conjugated deviations revealed two statistically significant latent variables. The first one explains 91.5% of the variability of data and is connected with the substituent effects transmitted through the aromatic skeleton. The second one explains 7.5% of variability of data and predominantly reflects the steric effects of substituents.

Potentiometric titration at 25 °C has been used to measure the dissociation constants of 2- and 4-substituted benzoic acids with electron-acceptor substituents in methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, and acetone. But for a few exceptions, no significant differences have been found between the dissociation constants measured and those given in literature. Using the measured pKa values, those of 3-substituted derivatives taken from literature (measured in the same solvents) and those of 3- and 4-substituted derivatives measured in water, the so far missing substituent constants σi of NO and CH3SO substituents have been determined by Alternative Interpretation of Substituent Effects (AISE). The previously published relationships and the σi constants have been used to calculate the σm and σp constants for the given substituents and compare them with literature. The agreement was the better, the more reliable the corresponding Hammett substituent constant was. Using a non-linear regression model, we have analysed the structure of matrix of pKa values of ten 2-X-benzoic acids (X is electron-acceptor substituent) measured in the given organic solvents and in water. It has been found that in non-aqueous solvents the conjugate base of benzoic acid is stabilised by intramolecular hydrogen bond if X is COOH and SO2NH2 or electrostatic force if X is CH3SO. On the other hand, in water the carboxylate group is out of the plane of the benzene ring due to interaction between the solvated reaction centre and substituent, this being the case with all the substituents except for X = CHO, CH3CO, NO, and CN. In all the solvents used, intramolecular ring closure takes place between the carboxylate group and substituent X = CH3CO, CHO, and NO, this phenomenon being the most important in water.

Fourteen model phenyl esters of 2-substituted benzoic acids were synthesised. Structures and purity of model compounds were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, as well as by HPLC and elemental analysis. Kinetics of base-catalysed hydrolysis of model phenyl esters occurring by the BAc2 mechanism were measured by UV spectrophotometry in 50% (v/v) aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide solutions at 25 °C under pseudo-first-order reaction conditions (c(NaOH) = 0.001-1.0 mol l-1). Linear relation between J-E and log kobs with the slope close to unity was found for all model compounds. Neither one-parameter nor multiparameter Hammett-type description of variability of experimental data obtained for phenyl esters of 2-substituted benzoic acids was found. Two groups (conjugating and non-conjugating) were created by division of ortho-substituents in ortho-position using the AISE theory, based on their interaction with the reaction centre.

Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of N,N -dimethylaminobenzoic acid (DABA ) was redetermined by means of X-ray diffraction. Crystal data are: Mr = 165.2, triclinic, P1̄, a = 6.651(2) Å , b = 8.045(2) Å , c = 8.609(2) Å , α - 88.97(3)°, β = 94.72(3)°, γ = 113.76(3)°, V = 420.13 Å3, Z = 2, Dm = 1.28 g cm-1, Dx = 1.306 g cm-1; CuKα: λ = 1.54178 Å, μ = 6.74 cm -1, F(000) = 176.00, T - 293 K; R = 0.0684, Rw = 0.0780 for 1185 observed reflections. The DABA molecules are almost planar and form cyclic dimers exhibiting no orientational disorder with separation of oxygen atoms RO...O - 2.627(2) Å . The pattern of molecular geometry in DABA suggests a relatively strong through-resonance effect between the NMe2 and COOH groups and shows non-additivity of substituent effects on valence angles and bond lengths in the ring. Mesomeric equalization of CO bond lengths in the carboxylic groups of 10 well solved p-substituted benzoic acids is found to depend linearly on the RO...O distance in H-bridged dimers. Full abinitio STO -3G optimizations of molecular geometries for monomers of DABA , p-aminobenzoic acid, benzoic acid, and formic acid as well as for aniline and N,N -dimethylaniline show resonable agreement with experimental data. Changes of molecular geometries on formation of planar H-bridged dimers have been obtained from calculations for benzoic acid dimers, benzoic - formic acid complex, and formic acid dimers. The latter was also optimized using the 6 -31 G basis set.

The paper deals with chemometric analysis of the inductive effect. The notion of inductive effect is discussed, and unambiguous definitions are given for the notions of triad: reaction centre-basic skeleton-substituent, and the therewith connected definitions of inductive effect. For a quantitative description of inductive effect 7 types of chemical models were selected including noncyclic compounds, cyclic, and bicyclic compounds, derivatives of quinuclidine, 3-substituted benzoic acids, sulfonamides and pyridines. Altogether 139 sets of experimental data from literature have been used including altogether 1 294 points (9.3 points per set, 5 points at least) reflecting substituent effects of 34 substituents. It has been found that for a standard model the dissociation of substituted bicycloalkanecarboxylic acids only is satisfactory, all the other models reflecting also the mesomeric effects to variable extent (up to 10%). A distinctly different substitution behaviour was observed with 19F and 13C NMR chemical shifts of 4-substituted 1-fluoro- or 1-methylbicyclo[2.2.2]octanes. The earlier suggested model of substituent effects based on different way of transmission of substituent effects (3 classes) has been used for separating the inductive and mesomeric effects: it is mathematically presented as a set of straight lines with the intersection point at the so-called isoeffect substituent constant. Using the modified method of conjugated deviations a chemometric scale has been created for the inductive effect which agrees very well with the conventional scales given in literature; the only differences were observed for F and CH=O substituents (which are overestimated and underestimated, respectively, in literature). In the context given the inductive effect appears as a fundamental quantity forming a basis for quantitative description of other effects transferred by electrons.

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.
