Equilibrium Acidities in Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solution

Frederick G. Bordwell
- 01 Dec 1988 - 
TL;DR: The first acidity scale to be established in a pure solvent other than water was the result of the pioneering work of Conant, Wheland, and McEwen in ether or ben~ene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equilibrium acidities of carbon acids. VI. Establishment of an absolute scale of acidities in dimethyl sulfoxide solution

Walter S. Matthews, +9 more
- 01 Nov 1975 - 
TL;DR: An accurate spectrophotometric method of determining relative equilibrium acidities of carbon acids in DMSO has been developed as discussed by the authors, and the pK of fluorene, formerly arbitrarily taken as 20.5, has been raised to an absolute value of 22.6.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substituent effects on the stabilities of phenoxyl radicals and the acidities of phenoxyl radical cations

Frederick G. Bordwell, +1 more
- 01 Feb 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the acidities of 35 phenoxyl radical cations were estimated from pK HA, E ox (A − ), and E ox(HA) values over a range of greater than 40 kcal/mol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acidities of water and simple alcohols in dimethyl sulfoxide solution

William N. Olmstead, +2 more
- 01 Aug 1980 - 
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and solvent effects evaluated from acidities measured in dimethyl sulfoxide and in the gas phase

Robert W. Taft, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was concluded that the SN2 reactions of 9-R2N-Flions with Ph2CHCl are occurring by a radical pair mechanism, which can be of general use for elucidating the role of SET in reactions of families of anions with electrophiles.
