Abstract
The protonation of phosphinylmethylpyridines with different structures and their N-oxides differing both in the nature and the number of functional groups (pyridine nitrogen, N → O, and P=O) was studied by potentiometric titration in nitromethane and IR spectroscopy. Regardless of the number of P=O groups, all the investigated phosphinylmethylpyridines were N bases, and their pK values changed in the range 10.4-4.7. In the case of N-oxides of phosphinylmethylpyridines, the oxygen atoms of N → O and P=O groups participated simultaneously in protonation, and the pK values were 6.7-5.0. The structure of the protonation products is discussed.
