Equilibrium acidities (pKHA) of the cations in 16 N-substituted trimethylammonium salts, one N-phenacylquinuclidinium salt, 8 N-substituted pyridinium salts, and N-(ethoxycarbonyl)isoquinolinium bromide, together with the oxidation potentials of their conjugate bases, have been determined in Me2SO. The acidifying effects of the α-trimethylammonium groups (α-Me3N+) and the α-pyridinium groups (α-PyN+) on the adjacent acidic C-H bonds in these cations were found to average about 10 and 18 pKHA units, resp. The homolytic bond dissociation energies of the acidic C-H bonds in these cations, estimated by the combination of the equilibrium acidities with the oxidation potentials of their corresponding conjugate bases (ylides), show that the α-trimethylammonium groups destabilize adjacent radicals by 2-6 kcal/mol, whereas α-pyridinium groups stabilize adjacent radicals by 3-6 kcal/mol. The effects of α-pyridinium groups on the stabilization energies of the radicals derived from these cations were ca. 4-10 kcal/mol smaller than those of the corresponding Ph groups, whereas their effects on the equilibrium acidities of the cations were 5.4-13.1 pKHA units larger. The pKHA value of tetramethylammonium cation (Me4N+) was estimated by extrapolation to be about 42 in Me2SO. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-(Cyanomethyl)pyridin-1-ium chloride (cas: 17281-59-3Related Products of 17281-59-3).
1-(Cyanomethyl)pyridin-1-ium chloride (cas: 17281-59-3) belongs to pyridine derivatives. The pyridine ring occurs in many important compounds, including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and vitamins. Reduced pyridines, namely tetrahydropyridines, dihydropyridines and piperidines, are found in numerous natural and synthetic compounds. The synthesis and reactivity of these compounds have often been driven by the fact many of these compounds have interesting and unique pharmacological properties. Related Products of 17281-59-3
