Abstract

The apparent acidity constants of a series of benzoic acids and phenols containing sulfur substituents in the para positions were determined. By application of the Hammett equation, it is shown that the arylsulfonyl group has a variable effect on the ionization equilibrium depending on the nature of the substituents present in the aryl group and on the particular equilibrium under consideration.
