A STUDY OF SOME COMPLEXES OF THE GROUP III AND GROUP V HALIDES
Abstract
The heats of reaction of 2-, 3- and 4-alylpyridines containing the alkyl groups, methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and t-butyl, as well as 2,6- lutidine and triethylamine, were measured calorimetrically. Parallelisms wore found between the heats of reaction and acidity constants which held for ortho, as well as the meta and para derivatives. It was found that this type of parallelism would be obtained when the steric requirements of the reference acid were similar in two series of reactions being com- pared.Substitution of methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and t-butyl groups in the 2-, 3- and 4 position of pyridine produced variations in their heats of reaction with methanesulfonic acid which were in complete accord with the inductive effect of the alkyl groups.
