Substituent effects on the ionization constants of phenylazobenzaldoximes
Keyword(s):
Ionization constants, pKa, for a set of 12 phenylazobenzaldoximes (1) have been determined in 50 vol% ethanol–water medium at 25 ± 0.1 °C and a μ of 0.1. Excellent linear correlations are obtained when pKa values are plotted against the substituent constant, σx, and the polar substituent constant, σ*XC6H4, for substituted phenyl groups. The regression lines are: pKa = 9.905–0.737σX; and pKa = 10.489 − 1.01σ* XC6H4 respectively. The pKa values have also been correlated with the extended Hammett equation. The correlation follows the equation: PKa =9.987 − 0.713σI,X−0.734 σR,X. It is concluded that EE and ZE forms of 1 exist in equilibrium in solution phase.
