The acid dissociation constants (K/sub a/) of a series of eight substituted N-phenylacetohydroxamic acids, CH/sub 3/C(O)N(OH)C/sub 6/H/sub 4/X (X = H,4-CH/sub 3/, 4-Cl, 4-I, 3-I, 3-CN, 4-CN, 4-C(O)CH/sub 3/), have been determined in aqueous solution (I = 2.0) for a range of temperatures. The pK/sub a/ data at 25 /sup 0/C exhibit a small variation with the substituent X in the direction expected according to their Hammett substituent constants (p approx. = 0.1). These small variations in pK/sub a/ values are due to compensating trends in ..delta..H/sub a/ and ..delta..S/sub a/, which show significant variation with substituent. These results are discussed in terms of the substituent's influence on hydroxamate anion-slvent interactions and the relative influence on pK/sub a/ of a substituted phenyl group attached to the C or N end of the hydroxamate moiety.
