Previous studies of the C(3)‐hydrogen/deuterium exchange reactions of the triazolium ion conjugate acids of triazolyl N‐heterocyclic carbenes revealed a change of mechanism under acidic conditions with N1‐protonation to a dicationic salt. Interestingly, the data suggested anincreasein pKaN1in the presence of aN‐pentafluorophenyl substituent relative to otherN‐aryl substituents with hydrogens or methyl substituents rather than fluorines at theortho‐positions. To probe the presence of an apparent donor effect of aN‐pentafluorophenyl substituent, which differs from the more common electron withdrawing effect of this group, we have studied the analogous deuterium exchange reactions of four triazolium salts with heteroatoms or heteroatom substituents in the 2‐position and/or 6‐position of theN‐aryl ring. These include triazolium salts withN‐2,4,6‐tribromophenyl11,N‐2,6‐dichlorophenyl12,N‐2‐pyridyl13andN‐2‐pyrimidinyl14substituents. The logkex– pDprofiles for11,12and14were found to show similar trends at lower pDs as for the previously studiedN‐pentafluorophenyl triazolium salt, hence supporting the presence an apparent donor effect on pKaN1. Surprisingly, the logkex– pDprofile forN‐pyridyl salt13uniquely showed acid catalysis at lower pDs. We propose herein that this data is best explained by invoking an intramolecular general base role for theN‐(2‐pyridyl) substituent in conjunction with N1‐protonation on the triazolium ring. Finally, the second order rate constants for deuteroxide ion catalysed C(3)‐H/D exchange (kDO, M−1s−1), which could be obtained from data at pDs >1.5, were used to provide estimates of C(3)‐carbon acid pKaC3values for the four triazolium salts11,12,13,14. © 2014 The Authors.
