Basicity and mechanism of transmission of electronic effects of substituents in the series of 2-amino-5-aryl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles

The basicity of 2-amino-5-aryl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles was studied. A correlation was obtained between the pK_BH+ values of the compounds and the constants of the substituents. It was shown that the electronic effects of the substituents in the phenyl ring are transmitted both on account of conjugation and by an induction mechanism.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 267–270, February, 1987.
