The acidity constants (pK a ) of oxime group containing nucleophiles like pralidoxime, butane 2,3-dione monoxime (BDMO), and some novel oxime-based functionalized nucleophiles, i.e., 3-and 4-hydroxyiminomethyl-1-alkylpyridinium bromides, have been determined spectrophotometrically at 27 °C in pure water and in a 50% (v/v) water-acetonitrile mixture, respectively. An effect of surfactant concentration on the pK a of pralidoxime has also been studied. It has been found that the pK a of pralidoxime was not affected by surfactant concentration.
