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.

A 1 TS J F,H(O) coupling pathway, dictated by a hydrogen bond, in some 2-fluorobenzoic acids has been observed, while such an interaction does not occur in 2-fluorophenol. Thus, this work reports the conformational analysis of 2-fluorophenylboronic acid (1), in order to evaluate a possible intramolecular OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond in comparison to an nF→pB interaction, which mimics the quantum nF→σ*OH hydrogen bond that would be expected in 2-fluorophenol. 2-Fluorophenylborane (3), which does not experience hydrogen bonding, was used to verify whether nF→pB interaction governs the conformational equilibrium in 1 due to a predominant OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond or to other effects. A series of 2-X-phenylboranes (X = Cl, Br, NH2, PH2, OH and SH) were further computationally analyzed to search for electron donors to boron, capable of influencing the conformational equilibrium. Overall, the intramolecular OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond in 1 is quite stabilizing and dictates the 1 h J F,H(O) coupling constant. Moreover, electron donation to the empty p orbital of boron (for noncoplanar BH2 moiety relative to the phenyl ring) is also significantly stabilizing for the NH2 and PH2 derivatives, but not enough to make the corresponding conformers appreciably populated, because of steric effects and the loss of πCC→pB resonance. Thus, the results found earlier for 2-fluorophenol about the lack of intramolecular hydrogen bonding are now corroborated.

The change of free enthalpy involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonding is smaller if the proton acceptor group can rotate round a single bond, as compared to proton acceptor groups which are fixed in a position optimal for hydrogen bonding. Also, the free enthalpy change is altered when the rotation of the proton acceptor is sterically restricted. This is demonstrated by comparing the absorptions of carbonyl stretching vibrations in the infrared spectra of certain compounds showing rotational isomerism. In the present study derivatives of 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-6-carbomethoxychromanone- (4), 3-nitrosalicylaldehyde and 3-nitro-2-hydroxy-acetophenones substituted in the position 5 and 6 are examined.

The relative acidities of fifteen 4- and 5-substituted salicylic acids were determined in benzene solution by potentiometric titration. The potentials at half neutralization (h.n.p.) relative to that of salicylic acid were considered to measure the acidities of the substituted acids relative to the parent acid. These potentials, designated by Δhnp, gave a significantly better correlation with Hammett's sigma constants in an equation of the form proposed by Jaffe, Δhnp = ρ1σ1 + ρ2σ2, than in a simple Hammett equation, Δhnp = ρ1σ1. In these equations the subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the position of a substituent relative to the carboxyl group and to the phenolic group respectively. The value of ρ2/ρ1 was found to be 0.4, indicating that the electronic effect of a substituent on the acid strength via the phenolic hydrogen-bonded path is almost half as large as the direct effect through the carboxyl group. These results, together with the fact that in aqueous solution there is very little if any transmission via the phenolic group, are discussed in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of salicylic acids in benzene and in water.

The stability balance shows that the hydrogen bond network and modulation of pKavalues can enhance the metal binding affinity.

Unique isolation of pairs of planar rotamers, planamers, as chemical species differing only in nitroso group orientation, separable through the presence of a single intramolecular hydrogen bond, is reported.
