Determination of HNP and pKa Values of Some 3-Alkyl(Aryl)-4-phthalimido-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one Compounds by Semi-Neutralization Method

Abstract

In this study, the effects of solvents and molecular structure upon acidity, five 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-phthalimido-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (3-7) were potentiometrically titrated with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) in four different anhydrous solvents (isopropyl alcohol, acetonitrile, tert-butyl alcohol and N,N-dimethylformamide) and HNP and corresponding pKa values were determined by half-neutralization method for all cases.
