Complete resolution of the ionization equilibria of 5-deoxypyridoxal in water-dioxane mixtures

We have used a potentiometric method to determine the thermodynamic equilibrium constants for the macroscopic ionization processes of 5-deoxypyridoxal (DPL) in water-dioxane mixtures (0-70% weight fraction in dioxane) at temperatures ranging from 10°C to 50°C. These data, together with previously pu...

Summary:We have used a potentiometric method to determine the thermodynamic equilibrium constants for the macroscopic ionization processes of 5-deoxypyridoxal (DPL) in water-dioxane mixtures (0-70% weight fraction in dioxane) at temperatures ranging from 10°C to 50°C. These data, together with previously published equilibrium constants for the tautomerism and hydration processes, have allowed us to resolve the complete microconstant system. We have also calculated the microscopic ionization equilibrium constants under all the experimental conditions. The changes of standard thermodynamic function for the macroscopic and microscopic ionization processes were obtained in various water-dioxane mixtures at 25°C. The values of a given microscopic pK with different solvents and temperatures fit very well to an equation which relates this magnitude with the thermodynamic parameters, the solvation of the components of the reaction, and a solvent parameter. We have obtained an interesting linear correlation between the thermodynamic parameters corresponding to all the microscopic ionizations of DPL and the net change of the solvation during the process: enthalpies correlate linearly for all the microscopic ionizations, while entropies do so for the phenols and pyridinium ions separately.
