Abstract
The relative acidities of a number of primary aromatic amine indicators in t-butyl alcohol containing sodium and potassium t-butoxides or benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide have been determined. An empirical measure of the basicity of solutions of sodium and potassium t-butoxides in t-butyl alcohol has been defined. The basicity of such solutions decreases with increasing temperature but is increased substantially by addition of dimethyl sulphoxide, tetrahydrothiophen SS-dioxide, or pyridine N-oxide.Keywords
