Abstract
Two methods for the determination of pKa values of weak acids are described, a direct titration with dimsyl potassium in the presence of an indicator and a back-titration in which an analyte/indicator mixture is deprotonated and then titrated with ammonium chloride. Both methods have been validated by measuring pKa values of compounds, for which values had been determined previously. The back-titration method was applied to measure pKa values of two 1,3-dithiane-derived bissulfoxides and a monosulfone.
