These last two plots have shown the importance of determinations of acid dissociation constants of biochemical reactants. In the next chapter we will see that it is also important to know the pKs of acid groups when heats of reaction are determined calorimetrically. 

As the rates of proton hydration and escape are comparable for all acids, the big difference between kdiss (or pK) of acids stems from the probability that the dissociating bond will stretch to its A- H+ state. This correlation between the pK and the rate of dissociation is described by the empirical valance bond formalism of Warshel (1982).

The first was proposed by Iraoto and Otsuji (511) and Otsuji et al (512) and concerned the pK of substituted 2-, 4-, and 5-carboxylic acids and the alkaline hydrolysis rate k of their respective ethyl esters (259, 260, and 261, where Y = Et). When Hammett cr , values were used for... 

There is a striking difference in the acidity of cyclopentadiene compared with cycloheptatriene Cycloheptatriene has a pK of 36 which makes it 10 times weaker m acid strength than cyclopentadiene... 

From this equation it can be seen that when [CH3C02 ] = [CH3CO2H] then the second term is log 1 = 0 and pH = pK This means that when the pH of a solution is equal to the pK of a weak acid the con centration of the acid and its conjugate base are equal This is a relationship worth remembering... 

The more basic the amine the larger the pK of its conjugate acid... 

Pyrrole is soluble in alcohol, benzene, and diethyl ether, but is only sparingly soluble in water and in aqueous alkaUes. It dissolves with decomposition in dilute acids. Pyrroles with substituents in the -position are usually less soluble in polar solvents than the corresponding a-substituted pyrroles. Pyrroles that have no substituent on nitrogen readily lose a proton to form the resonance-stabilized pyrrolyl anion, and alkaU metals react with it in hquid ammonia to form salts. However, pyrrole pK = ca 17.5) is a weaker acid than methanol (11). The acidity of the pyrrole hydrogen is gready increased by electron-withdrawing groups, eg, the pK of 2,5-dinitropyrrole [32602-96-3] is 3.6 (12,13). 

A Hammett relationship of the form ApK = 5.8am has been proposed for 4-substituted pyrazoles (74TL1609) in order to explain the effect of 4-nitro ApK = 4.5, am = 0.71) and 4-diazo groups (Apiifa = 10.0, am = 1.76). The acidity constants of a series of pyrazolidine-3,5-diones have been determined (75AJC1583) and the 4- -butyl-1,2-diphenyl derivative phenylbutazone has a pK of 4.33.
