Summary
The heights of the catalytic waves in nonbuffer solutions (0.5 M KC1) at 25° have been used to find the rate constants for protonation by water, using the following compounds: Pyridine (5.5 liter/M-sec),α-picoline (10.1),β-picoline (8.0),γ-p+icoline (12.5), and α,α′-lutidine (26). A discussion is given of the effect of steric factors on the protonation rate of these compounds.
