Structure of aminonitrones and electronic effect of substituents on their acid-base properties

Аннотация

A series of para-substituted aromatic aminonitrones p-RC₆H₄C(NH₂)=N⁺(Me)O^– (R = NMe₂, H, Br, Cl, CF₃) have been prepared. Acidity constants of the conjugate acids RC₆H₄C(NH₂)N⁺(Me)OH at 25°C in a EtOH–H₂O mixture (5: 95) have been determined by potentiometric titration. A linear correlation between log (k_R/k_H) and σ_para values has been revealed, and a ρ²⁹⁸(σ_para) parameter has been determined as of 0.635.
