Anion–π interactions influence pKa values

Five 8-(4-R-phenyl)-1-naphthol derivatives were prepared by PdCl2-catalysed electrophilic aromatic substitution. The pKa' values for these 1,8-disubstituted arene naphthols have been measured in acetonitrile/water (R = NO2, 8.42; R = Cl, 8.52; R = H, 8.56; R = Me 8.68; and R = OMe, 8.71) and in...
