Summary

The deprotonation and acid ionization constants of some quinoline derivatives in aqueous organic solvents were determined. The organic solvents used include methanol and ethanol as amphiprotic solvents andDMF andDMSO as dipolar aprotic solvents. The obtainedpK 1 andpK 2 values are discussed with respect to the nature and the amount of the organic component. The high stabilization of the non-protonated form by dispersion forces and of the proton by its interaction with the solvent are the main factors responsible for the increase in the ionization constants of the protonated forms of the quinolines under investigation. On the other hand, H-bonding interactions (in addition to the electrostatic effect) seem to play the major role in determining the second acid-base equilibrium of 8-hydroxyquinoline. The deprotonation constants of the examined quinolines are correlated with their experimentally determined lone-pair ionization potential values.

Zusammenfassung

Die Deprotonierungs- und Ionisationskonstanten einiger Chinolinderivate wurden in wäßrigen organischen Medien, darunter Methanol und Ethanol als amphiprotische undDMF undDMSO als dipolare aprotische Lösungsmittel, bestimmt. Die gemessenenpK 1- undpK 2-Werte werden im Hinblick auf die Art und Menge der organische Komponente diskutiert. Die hohe Stabilisierung der nichtprotonierten Form durch Dispersionskräfte und des Protons durch Wechselwirkungen mit dem Lösungsmittel sind die wesentlichen Faktoren, die für den Anstieg der Ionisationskonstanten der protonierten Formen der untersuchten Chinoline verantwortlich sind. Andererseits scheinen Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen — zusätzlich zum elektrostatischen Effekt — das zweite Säure-Basen-Gleichgewicht von 8-Hydroxychinolin entscheidend zu beeinflussen. Die Deprotonierungskonstanten aller untersuchten Chinoline werden mit ihren experimentell bestimmtenlone-pair-Ionisationspotentialen korreliert.
