Equilibrium acidities in DMSO are reported for nine cycloalkanones, acetone, acetophenone, and 19 of their α-substituted derivatives. Oxidation potentials in DMSO for the conjugate bases of most of these ketones are also reported. Combination of these EOX(A−) and pKHA values gives estimates of the homolytic bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of the acidic C—H bonds in the ketones. The ΔBDEs, relative to the BDE of CH3-H, or a parent ketone, provide a measure of the radical stabilization energies (RSEs) of the corresponding radicals. The effects of successive α-Me and α-Ph substitutions on RSEs, relative to those of CH3COCH2-H or PhCOCH2-H, are similar to those reported in the gas phase for methane. The RSE for the MeĊHCOPh radical, relative to CH3• is 17 kcal/mol, which is smaller than the sum of the RSEs of the MeCH2• and PhCOCH2• radicals relative to CH3• (7 + 12 = 19), contrary to the prediction of the captodative postulate. When G in PhCOCH2G is PhCO, CH3CO, or CN the ΔBDEs (relative to PhCOCH2-H) are 0, 1, and 3 respectively; for MeCOCH2SO2Ph, PhCOCH2SO2Ph, and PhCOCH2NMe3+ the ΔBDEs are −5, −2, and −4, respectively. The BDEs in C5, C6, C7, C8, C10, and C12 cycloalkanones are within ±2.5 kcal/mol of that of 3-pentanone. Acetophenones bearing meta or para substituents all have BDEs of 93-94 kcal/mol. Ketone radical cations, [RCOR′]+•, appear to be superacids with estimated [Formula: see text] values below −25. Keywords: acidities, bond dissociation energies, ketones.
