Acidity intramolecular hydrogen bonding

The location of the hydroxyl and aldehyde groups ortho to one another in saUcylaldehyde permits intramolecular hydrogen bonding, and this results in the lower melting point and boiling point and the higher acid dissociation constant observed relative to -hydroxybenzaldehyde. 

Maleic and fiimaric acids have physical properties that differ due to the cis and trans configurations about the double bond. Aqueous dissociation constants and solubiUties of the two acids show variations attributable to geometric isomer effects. X-ray diffraction results for maleic acid (16) reveal an intramolecular hydrogen bond that accounts for both the ease of removal of the first carboxyl proton and the smaller dissociation constant for maleic acid compared to fumaric acid. Maleic acid isomerizes to fumaric acid with a derived heat of isomerization of —22.7 kJ/mol (—5.43 kcal/mol) (10). The activation energy for the conversion of maleic to fumaric acid is 66.1 kJ/mol (15.8 kcal/mol) (24).

The 8-hydroxy-7-aminoquinoline-5-sulfonic acid was used to clarify the role of intramolecular hydrogen bonding on the cyclization rate of hydroxy Schiff bases in the preparation of 2-aryloxazolo[4,5-/i]quinoline-5-sulfonic acids 13. Irradiation... 

An example of intramolecular hydrogen bonding is provided by the cis- and trans- forms of the acid HOOC—CH=CH—COOH. The trans- form, fumaric acid, has a higher melting point than the cis- form, maleic acid. In addition to the general effect of molecular shape (mentioned earlier in this chapter), another reason for... 

Benz[l,2-e][l,3]oxazin[3,4-a]azepin-6-one (15) is cleaved rapidly in cold ethereal ethylamine to /V.A-diethyl-2-(2-hydroxyphcnyl)-l//-azepinc-1-carboxamide (90% mp 121 -122°C), whereas acidic hydrolysis yields the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded 2-(2-hydro-xyphenyl)-3//-azepine (16).156... 

Likewise, synthetic 2//-azepines isomerize to 3//-azepines in refluxing chloroform (2-3 h) or in tert-butyl methyl ether at room temperature.291 The isomers can be readily separated by chromatography on silica gel, as the more basic 2//-azepines30 have lower Rf values. In contrast, 7-butyl-2//-azepin-2-acetic acid (11), obtained by heating the tert-butyl ester 10 with iodotrimethylsilane, is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding and shows no tendency to rearrange to the 3//-isomer.291... 

Likewise, amine functions on the azepine ring at an unsaturated carbon center behave as enamines and undergo hydrolysis under both acid and alkaline conditions to the benzazepinones.15,64 8084 However, hydrolysis of dimethyl l-acetyl-5-piperidino-l//-l-benz-azepine-3,4-dicarboxylate(18) yields not the benzazepinone but the tautomeric 5-hydroxy derivative 19.13 Presumably, the enol form is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

It seems clear that the acidity of an intra-annular acid depends on its ability to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds. By how much the pAg values are changed by hydrogen bonds depends strongly on the medium and whether it can offer alternative hydrogen bonds or not. Therefore in even less polar media, an intra-annular acid should be even less acidic than the analogues. 

In most other acids (see above), a low acidity is usually caused by the stabilization of the acidic form by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. However in the case of the acids [74] it is much less likely that the low acidity is caused by the stabilization of the acidic form because no ether oxygen atoms... 

However, for most acids and bases of this review, the dominating influence of the concave environment on the acid-base properties is the formation of stabilizing intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The other factors have been found only in a few cases [microacidity for [45] (van Eerden et al.,... 

Many synthetic water-soluble polymers are easily analyzed by GPC. These include polyacrylamide,130 sodium poly(styrenesulfonate),131 and poly (2-vinyl pyridine).132 An important issue in aqueous GPC of synthetic polymers is the effect of solvent conditions on hydrodynamic volume and therefore retention. Ion inclusion and ion exclusion effects may also be important. In one interesting case, samples of polyacrylamide in which the amide side chain was partially hydrolyzed to generate a random copolymer of acrylic acid and acrylamide exhibited pH-dependent GPC fractionation.130 At a pH so low that the side chain would be expected to be protonated, hydrolyzed samples eluted later than untreated samples, perhaps suggesting intramolecular hydrogen bonding. At neutral pH, the hydrolyzed samples eluted earlier than untreated samples, an effect that was ascribed to enlargement...
