Abstract
Protonation equilibria of some 5-substituted di(2-thienyl) ketones have been investigated spectrophotometrically in aqueous solutions of sulfuric acid at 298 K. The experimental pKBH+ values have been analyzed by means of the Hammett equation. The calculated ρ as well as the pKBH+ and m* values have been compared with those for substituted 2-acetyl- thiophenes and phenyl 2-thienyl ketones.
Keywords: Acidity constants; Heterocyclic ketones; Linear free energy relationships; Thiophenes; Substituent effects; Hammett equation.
