Abstract
Seven monosubstituted 1-naphthoic acids were synthesized by new or modified procedures, and their dissociation constants were measured potentiometrically at 25 °C in methanol, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, and pyridine. Dissociation constants of these along with thirteen substituted 1-naphthoic acids and twenty-five substituted 2-naphthoic acids previously studied were measured at 25 °C in ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide. The pKHA values of 3- and 4-substituted 1-naphthoic acids were treated by simple linear regression and principal component analysis, and the results were used for comparison of model compounds and of corresponding 3- and 4-substituted benzoic acids with the aim of comparison of benzene and naphthalene skeletons. It has been found, the 3 and 4 positions of the 1-naphthyl system can roughly be compared with the meta and para positions of benzene, respectively.
