Correlation pKa – activité catalytique des thiols dans la réaction d'hydrolyse de l'acétate de p-nitrophényle

Abstract
The kinetic study of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylacetate in the presence of primary thiols indicates the thiolate anion as the sole catalytic species. Comparison of the true second order rate constants (kRS−) reveals that purely aliphatic primary thiols behave differently from aromatic α-substituted primary thiols. In the latter group a correlation can be established between the true second order rate constants and the pKSH values by means of the Brönsted equation log kRS− = βpKSH + C, with β equal to 0.40 and C equal to −0.85.
