The dissociation equilibrium constants of some E-α-phenyl-β-arylacrilic acids (Ar=2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, anthracen-9-yl) have been measured in 80percent aqeous 2-methoxyethanol at 25 deg C., The pKa values of these acids, together with those of p-substituted phenyl, 2-furyl, 2-thienyl and selenophen-2-yl derivitives, have been rationalized by an equation involving separate contributions of polar, conjugative and steric effects of heterocycles.The pKa values of some E-α-phenyl-β-alkylacrilic acids (alk=methyl; ethyl; n-propyl; i-propyl; n-butyl; i-butyl) are also reported.
