The stereochemistry of organometallic compounds. Part XII. The acid strengths of some tricarbonyl(alkylbenzoic acid)chromium compounds, their nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, and the spectra of some related compounds

Abstract

The pK_a values of a series of m- and p-alkylbenzoic acids and their related tricarbonylchromium compounds are reported. The influence of the alkyl groups on the pK_a values and on the n.m.r. spectra of the acids, their sodium salts, and their methyl esters, and on the spectra of a related series of alkylanilines is discussed.
