Equilibrium constants for hydrate–hemiacetal interconversion in aqueous solution at 25° have been measured for four fluorinated carbonyl compounds: compound, alcohol, K4 (M−1): CF3CHO, C2H5OH, 2.3; CF3COCH3, CH3OH, 1.0; CF3COPh, CH3OH, 3.5; CF3COCF3, CH3OH, 0.14. These values, combined with values from the literature, permit an examination of substituent effects upon the equilibrium constant for[Formula: see text]The free energy change for this process, corrected for symmetry and steric effects, follows the equation[Formula: see text]Thus electronic effects upon this equilibrium are generally small and in fact are often smaller than steric effects.This analysis permits and justifies the calculation of free energies of formation of [Formula: see text] compounds from the (more generally measurable) free energies of formation of the analogous [Formula: see text] compounds.

Gas phase proton affinities for a number of fluoro- and trifluoromethyl-substituted carbonyl compounds have been obtained using a combination of proton transfer equilibria and bracketing experiments. Absolute and relative substituent effects for F and CF3 on carbonyl basicities are determined and discussed in terms of inductive, resonance, polarization, and hydrogen bonding interactions. The data are used to interpolate basicities for HCOF and CF3CHO and are compared to theoretical ab initio calculations.
