摘要
Experimental and theoretical studies were carried out to interrogate the effect of an imidazole substituent in each of the ortho, meta, and para positions on the pK(a), E degrees, and O-H BDE of phenol. The results reveal that imidazole substitution lowers the pK, of phenol and increases the E degrees of phenoxide due to its sigma-electron withdrawing ability (sigma(-)(p) = +0.21, sigma(-)(m) = +0.45) but decreases the O-H BDE and E degrees of phenol due to its T-electron-donating ability (sigma(+)(p) = -0.45).
