[c] [2] For example, a hypothetical weak acid having K a = 10 −5, the value of log K a is the exponent (−5), giving pK a = 5. For acetic acid, K a = 1.8 x 10 −5, so pK a is 4.7. A higher K a corresponds to a stronger acid (an acid that is more dissociated at equilibrium).
Phenylboronic acid or benzeneboronic acid, abbreviated as PhB(OH) 2 where Ph is the phenyl group C 6 H 5 - and B(OH) 2 is a boronic acid containing a phenyl substituent and two hydroxyl groups attached to boron. Phenylboronic acid is a white powder and is commonly used in organic synthesis.
From the titration of protonatable group, one can read the so-called pK a 1 ⁄ 2 which is equal to the pH value where the group is half-protonated (i.e. when 50% such groups would be protonated). The pK a 1 ⁄ 2 is equal to the Henderson–Hasselbalch pK a (pK HH a) if the titration curve follows the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation. [14]
Boronic acids are known to bind to active site serines and are part of inhibitors for porcine pancreatic lipase, [2] subtilisin [3] and the protease Kex2. [4] Furthermore, boronic acid derivatives constitute a class of inhibitors for human acyl-protein thioesterase 1 and 2, which are cancer drug targets within the Ras cycle. [5]
The higher the proton affinity, the stronger the base and the weaker the conjugate acid in the gas phase.The (reportedly) strongest known base is the ortho-diethynylbenzene dianion (E pa = 1843 kJ/mol), [3] followed by the methanide anion (E pa = 1743 kJ/mol) and the hydride ion (E pa = 1675 kJ/mol), [4] making methane the weakest proton acid [5] in the gas phase, followed by dihydrogen.
