Abstract

We report second-order rate constants of KDO = 120 dm 3 mol-1 S-1 and kB= 6.4 × 104 dm3 mol-1 S-1 for exchange for deuterium of the first a-methylene proton of the 4-(aminomethyl)pyridine dication in D2O at 25 °C and I = 1.0 (KCl). These data are consistent with a carbon acid pKa between 17 and 19 for ionization of this simple carbon acid and they show that the effect of an α-pyridinium substituent on carbon acidity is similar to that of an α-ester substituent.
