Application of the kinetic method to bifunctional bases MIKE and CID-MIKE test cases
Résumé
An assessment of the kinetic method and its applicability to the determination of the basicity of bidentate molecules is done by considering several examples previously studied by equilibrium methods. Selected examples are: 1,2-ethanediol, 1,3-propanediol, glycerol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 2-methoxyethanol methoxyacetone, 1,2-diamino ethane, 1,3-diamino propane and 1,4-diaminobutane. It is generally observed that the orthodox use of the method leads to GB(M), PA(M) and protonation entropy values different from that obtained by the equilibrium method.
