Acidity measurements in THF. V. Heteroaromatic compounds containing 5-membered rings

Abstract: The pKa's of 13 heterocyclic aromatic compounds have been measured in tetrahydrofuran (THF) using 13C nmr spectroscopy. The acidifying effect of a nitrogen heteroatom is seen to be quite large (4–6 pK units versus C—H) on an adjacent C—H bond but small on a more remote hydrogen. Most of these aromatic heterocycles are sufficiently acidic, pKa < 34, to be completely deprotonated by lithium tetramethylpiperidide in THF. Benzoxazole appears to be an extremely strong carbon acid, its ring-opened isomer having a… Show more

“…In addition, average molecular weight of the polymer determined from GPC (7,l . 10 ) was in good accordance with that from trimethylsilyl and phenyl protons in 'H NMR (7,l . lo'), assuming one trimethylsilyl group per each polymer molecule, indicating the poly(DVB) to have one organosilyl group at the end of polymer chain.…”

“…Since the lithiation of N-methylpyrrole 2 (pKa 39.5 [4]) is known to occur preferentially at C-2 under similar conditions, this result shows that the reaction was the simple ring opening by the initially produced lithio-derivative 3, and no isomerization of 3 occurred during the reaction. The exclusive formation of the mono-S-substituted 1,3-propanedithiol 8 was confirmed by gc and GC-MS analyses; i.e., neither the unsubstituted 2,2-diethyl-1,3-propanedithiol 26 nor the S,SЈ-bis-substituted 1,3-propanedithiol was found in the mixture.…”

“…9 Consequently, lithium amide with organosilyl substituent(s) shows no carbonyl attack under appropriate conditions. 5 Such mild reactivity is one of the reasons why LBA has been extensively utilized for the metalation of complicated materials.…”
