Thermodynamics of basic ionization of some aminoethers in water
Basic ionization constants (Kb) of 2-methoxyethylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, and bis-2-methoxyethylamine in water have been measured as a function of temperature between 5 and 45 °C, thus enabling values of ΔGb0, ΔHb0, ΔSb0, and ΔCpb0 to be calculated. The results conform with the ability of the ether function to destroy hydrophobicity in water.
