Amidines. Part 24. Influences of alkyl substituents at the amidino carbon atom on the sensitivity to substitution at the imino nitrogen atom. pK a Values of N 1 N 1-dimethylamidines

Abstract: Three series of N'N'-dimethylamidines, propionamidines, isobutyramidines, and pivalamidines, each containing the same set of 25 substituents Rx at the imino nitrogen atom have been synthesized and their pKa values in 95.6% ethanol (azeotrope) measured. The pKa values were correlated with o and oo constants as well as with the pKa values of the corresponding primary amines RXNH,. Regression parameters for the series studied were compared with those for N'N'-dimethyl-formamidines and -acetamidines. It is shown t… Show more

“…We decided to reinvestigate the electrochemical behaviour of lHCl on the basis that the observed oxidation potential (+0.90 V vs. Ag/Ag+ 0.01 M) appeared too low for the oxidation of a protonated amidine. Furthermore, the oxidation of the protonated amidine cannot involve the electron pair of the imino nitrogen as suggested by Barbey and Caullet (2) since it is the most basic of the two nitrogens due to charge delocalization (stabilization) of the conjugate acid, and it is the nitrogen that is protonated (6,7). As shown below, the anodic wave at +0.90 V is due to the oxidation of the chloride anion.…”

“…This behaviour was observed for other cyclic [5,6] and acyclic [7] amidines. In order to quantify these effects, the Hammett relationship [8] (Equation 1) was applied [9], log K a /K 0 = ρ.σ (1) rendering a slope value ρ=1.50 (r=0.9898, s=0.63).…”

“…37 Other amidines were obtained according to previously described procedures: FDM, 38 ADM, 39 PrpDM, 39 iBtrDM, 39 and PivDM. 40 The purity of the amidines studied was above 95%, as judged by gas chromatography. The details of the GC analysis have been given elsewhere: FDM, 41 ADM, 41 PrpDM, 42 iBtrDM, 42 and PivDM; 42 iValDM and cHexDM were analyzed under the conditions used for the PivDM series.…”
