Ionic Equilibria in Mixed Solvents. VI. Dissociation Constants of Aliphatic Diamines in Water-Methanol Solutions by Hitoshi Ohtaki" and Nobuo Tanaka Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Nagoya University, Chikusa, Nagoya, Japan (Received M a y 11, 1970) Publication costs borne completely by The Journal of Physical Chemistry

Dissociation constants of protonated l,Z-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane, and 1,Pdiaminobutane have been determined potentiometrically at 25" in various water-methanol mixtures containing 0.1 N sodium chloride as an ionic medium. Ion products, K,(s), in the mixtures have been calculated and used for calculations of pK's of the acids, equilibrium of hydronium ions with alkoxonium ions being taken into consideration. Since values of pKz - pK1 of the diamines have been independent of solvent compositions, it may be seen that interactions between charged sites in a molecule may scarcely be affected with the variation of the solvent composition.

Introduction In comparison with accumulation of data for dissociation constants of dicarboxylic acids, the number of pK values of diamines is limited. Moreover, theoretical considerations have been made only for dissociation of protons from dicarboxylic We have undertaken the present study to throw a little more light on dissociation equilibria of diprotic acids in mixed solvents. I n the present work we determined dissociation constants of protonated l,Zdiaminoethane, l,&diaminopropane, and 1,4-diaminobutane in various watermethanol mixtures containing 0.1 M sodium chloride as an ionic medium.

Experimental Section A. Reagents. 1,W-Diaminoethane Dihyclrochloride and 1 ,tI-Diaminopropane Dihydrochloride. Each base (reagent grade; Wako Pure Chemicals Co., Osaka) was dissolved in wator and then was treated with diluted hydrochloric acid. at low temperature. The solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure at 30-40". Diamine dihydrochlorides thus prepared were recrystallized three times from aqueous ethanol and crystals were dried in vacuo. 1,4-Diaminobutane Dihydrochloride. 1,4-Diaminobutane (Aidrich Cliemical Co., Inc., Milwaukee, Wis.) was distilled twice under a reduced pressure and dissolved in water, arid then was treated with dilute hydrochloric acid in a vessel cooled with ice. The solution was concentrated under a reduced pressure until crystals were formed. Temperature was kept lower than 40" in the course of evaporation. The crystals were dissolved in aqueous ethanol solution and recrystallized by addition of ethyl ether to the solution. They were dried in vacuo at room temperature.

Sodium chloride (ultra pure) from E. JIerck Co. mas used after drying at 500". Sodium Hydroxide. A saturated solution of reagent grade sodium hydroxide was allowed .lo stand for several days in a polyethylene bottle. The solution was filtered through a G4 glass filter under nitrogen atmosphere and diluted with distilled water free from carbon dioxide. The solution was kept in a polyethylene bottle filled with nitrogen gas. Methanol. Reagent grade methanol was distilled once and was stored in a glass bottle. The concentration of water in the methanol was analyzed by means of Karl Fischer titrations. R. Apparatus. Beckman glass electrodes (No. 40498) were used. Silver-silver chloride electrodes were prepared according to Brownn6 The 'Wilhelm" type of half-cell described by Forsling, Hietanen, and SillBn' was used for emf measurements. A Beckman Research pH meter RiIodel 1019 or an Orion Digital pH meter IL'Iodel801was used. All titrations were performed in an ionic medium of 0.1 M sodium chloride at 25.00 f 0.01" in a paraffin oil thermostat, which was placed in a room thermostated at 25 i= 1'. Potentials at each point of measurements were determined within an accuracy of 0.1 mV. The

mol. mixtures, which are listed in Table 11. The values of K,(s) thus obtained were used for calculation of dissociation constants of diamines.

Results and Diseurasion Dissociation constants, K1 and K z , for each diamine were determined from the formation function, a, by means of a generalized least-squares method with the help of an electronic computer FACOM 230-60 in order to make the error square sum (U = E(% - %ca~cd)2)a minimum for the set of dissociation constants, K1 and K 2 . 'Yicalod denotes the value %onled = ([H+IsK1-' 2 [H'.],2K~-1K2-')/(1 [H+],Kl-l [H+]S2K1-'K2-*) for a particular set of the constants, K I and Kz. Dissociation constants thus obtained are summarized in Table 111. In all cases both pK1 and pK2 decreased with increasing methanol concentration up to 80% (W/W). Such variations of pK's of diamines are similar to those of monamines.9 Values of both ApKl (= pKl(in aqueous solution) pKl(in aqueous methanol solution)) and ApK2 (= pKz(in aqueous solution) - pK1(in aqueous methanol solution)) were slrongly dependent on the concentration of methanol. Moreover, it was found that ApK, and ApKz were very similar for 1,3-diaminopropane and 1,4-diaminobutarie. For 1,2-diaminoethane, however, the decrease of pK1 was less pronounced than that of pK2, although varirition of ApK2 for 1,a-diaminoethane with the methanol concentration was almost the same as those for other diamines. A thermodynamic comparison of dissociation constants of an acid in different solvents can be made through a comparison of free-energy differences of the acid existing in the different media.
