Abstract

Abstract The influence of the length of alkyl substituents on various kinetic, thermodynamic, and spectroscopic properties of 4-(dialkylamino) pyridines has been determined by using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. The chain-length dependence of these properties has subsequently been analyzed by using a quantitative model for through- bond inductive effects.
