pKa Determination of Strongly Acidic C-H Acids Bearing a (Perfluoroalkyl)sulfonyl Group in Acetonitrile by Means of Voltammetric Reduction of Quinone

A voltammetric method has been developed for the determination of the acid dissociation constant (pKa) of (RfSO2)2CHR (Rf = perfluoroalkyl), which is a strongly acidic molecule that serves as an acid catalyst. In acetonitrile solution containing small quantity of the acid, the reduction peak potenti...
