ACIDIFYING EFFECTS OF AZA GROUPS IN THE NH ACIDITY OF AMINOAZINES AND THE CH ACIDITY OF ACETYLAZINES

The pK values for a series of aminoazines and acetylazines containing one, two, or three aza groups in the ring were determined in dimethyl sulfoxide.There is a good linear correlation between pK values of the investigated NH and CH acids.The acidifying effects (ΔpK) of the aza groups at positions 2, 3, or 4 in relation to the side chain were determined and had values of 3.1, 2.4, and 4.5 logarithmic units in the aminoazines and 3.5, 2.9 and 4.8 logarithmic units respectively in the acetylazines.Except in the case of two ortho-located aza groups the effects are additive.Compared with dimethyl sulfoxide water has a differentiating effect on the acidity of the aminoazines, and this is explained by the formation of hydrogen bonds between the molecules of the proton-donating solvent and the aza groups of the anions of the aminoazines.
