Ho, the acidity function introduced by Hammett, is a measure of the ability of the solvent to transfer a proton to a base of neutral charge. In dilute aqueous solution ho becomes equal to t d Hq is equal to pH, but in strongly acid solutions Hq will differ from both pH and — log ch+. The determination of Ho is accomplished with the aid of Eq. (8-89) and a series of neutral indicator bases (the nitroanilines in Table 8-18) whose pA bh+ values have been measured by the overlap method. Table 8-19 lists Ho values for some aqueous solutions of common mineral acids. Analogous acidity functions have been defined for bases of other structural and charge types, such as // for amides and Hf for bases that ionize with the production of a carbocation ... 

Pedras and co-workers (98P1959) isolated a phytoalexin from Wasabi (Wasabia japonica, syn. Eutrema wasabi) and determined its structure to be methyl l-methoxyindole-3-carboxylate (109) (Scheme 38). Compound 109 had already been synthesized by Acheson and co-workers [78JCS(P1)1117] in ten steps from o-nitroaniline. Pedras and co-workers (98P1959) combined our tungstate method and Acheson s work, and synthesized 109 in 9% overall yield but in an impure state. 

Account for the fact that p-nitroaniline (pKa = 1.0) is less basic than m-nitroaniline (pKa = 2.5) by a factor of 30. Draw resonance structures to support your argument. (The p/Ca values refer to the corresponding ammonium ions.)... 

Further studies of the 2-substituted 5-nitroanilines, conducted by Kier and coworkers, searched for a linear combination of structural variables that describes a line, plane, or surface that separates the molecule classes in the optimum manner. They found that sweetness correlated very well with the substituent polarizability-constants for the 2-substituent, implicating the involvement of the 2-substituents in dispersive-binding interactions at the receptor. This is in agreement with the results of Hansch " and McFarland. The correlation equation was not, however, reported.

The hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole structure was constructed by a coupling of the diazonium salt of o-nitroaniline with 4-ethyl-phenol, followed by reduction of the nitro-azobenzene to the benzotriazole with zinc powder and NaOH. After blocking of the phenol by acetylation, bromination and dehydrobromination were performed as described earlier, and treatment with aqueous NaOH...

Two commercial disazo disperse dyes of relatively simple structure were selected for a recent study of photolytic mechanisms [180]. Both dyes were found to undergo photoisomerism in dimethyl phthalate solution and in films cast from a mixture of dye and cellulose acetate. Light-induced isomerisation did not occur in polyester film dyed with the two products, however. The prolonged irradiation of Cl Disperse Yellow 23 (3.161 X = Y = H) either in solution or in the polymer matrix yielded azobenzene and various monosubstituted azobenzenes. Under similar conditions the important derivative Orange 29 (3.161 X = N02, Y = OCH3) was degraded to a mixture of p-nitroaniline and partially reduced disubstituted azobenzenes. 

The classical idea of through-conjugation is revised the importance of structures 52 and 53 was criticized in particular by Hiberty and Ohanessian159. There is a tendency to explain physical and chemical properties of derivatives of p-nitroaniline without considering quinonoid structures like 52 to be the most important ones. 

Ortho eliminations find widespread application in the structure elucidation of aromatic nitro compounds, e.g., nitroanilines, [200] dinitrophenols, [213] trini-troaromatic explosives, [214] and nitrophenyl-methanesulfonamides. [199] (Scheme 6.75 reproduced from Ref. [199] with permission. IM Publications 1997) ... 

The rates of formation of various cyclic peptides and DKPs have been documented and shown to be affected by a wide range of physicochemical and structural parameters. Goolcharran and Borchardt examined the effects of exogenous (i.e., pH, temperature, buffer species, and concentration) and endogenous (i.e., primary sequences) factors affecting the rate of cyclic dipeptide formation, using the dipeptide analogues of X-Pro-/)-nitroaniline (X-Pro-/>NA where X represents the amino acid residue of the respective cyclic dipeptide). 

The determination of 17-ketosteroids is most often determined in the clinical laboratory by the Zimmerman reaction, in which the ether-extracted material is allowed to react with m-nitroaniline to yield a colored product. Thus, any compound with the 17-keto basic structure such as reserpine, morphine, ascorbic acid, or their metabolites will interfere. The Porter-Silber reaction used in the determination of 17,21-dihydroxysteroids is also not specific, and the reaction requires a di-hydroxyacetone side chain. Paraldehyde, chloral hydrate, meprobromate, and potassium iodide have been found to interfere, and patients should be maintained free of these drugs for 24-48 hours before the urine collection (Bll). 

In aromatic compounds the effect of a functional group on retention may be enhanced or diminished by resonance. As illustrate in Fig. 4 the curves for monofunctional benzene derivatives exhibit a mo e or less parallel slope on the plot of log k against log eluent composition whereas the multifunctional derivatives, e.g., nitroanilines, cholestenotie, show distinctly different slopes. This demonstrates how difficult the prediction of retention behavior in adsorption chromatography is. The greater the deviation of the structure from the simple model compounds used for establishing the rules, the more difficult the prediction becomes. 

The influence of the structure of the main chain on the chymotrypsin catalyzed release of p-nitroaniline is shown in Fig. 15. Oligopeptide p-nitroanili-des were attached to HPMA copolymers (as side-chains) and to polyethylene glycol (end-point attachment). From the values of kcat/KM it is evident that all oligopeptide p-nitroanilides attached to PEG were cleaved faster than those attached to HPMA copolymers. It appeared that the PEG substrates fit better into the active site of chymotrypsin due to the linearity and flexibility of the PEG molecule, and the type of spacer attachments [255].

Sulfur Bake. The yellow, orange, and brown sulfur dyes belong to this group. The dyes are usually made from aromatic amines, diamines, and their acyl and nuclear alkyl derivatives. These may be used in admixture with nitroanilines and nitrophenols or aminophenols to give the desired shade. The color formed is said to be the result of the formation of the thiazole chromophore, evident in dye structure (1).
