The equilibrium constants for thiohemiacetal formation between a series of aldehydes and two thiols (glutathione, pKa= 9.1, and p-nitrothlophenol, pAa= 4.4) were measured. Thiohemiacetalformation and aldehyde hydration are equally sensitive to electron-withdrawing substituents on the aldehyde. The equilibrium constant for thiohemiacetal formation, As (where glutathione is the thiol), is related to the Taft polar substituent constant: log K $= 1.65*+ 1.41,/·= 0.986. The inter-val estimatorof p*(at 90% confidence) is 1.47-1.83. Thiohemiacetal formation with p-nitrothiophenol is also correlated rea-sonably well with* by the same Taft equation obtained with glutathione. The relative stabilitiesof thiohemiacetals are independent of the basicity of the thiol. For all thealdehydes tested, however, the thiohemiacetal is stabilized over the aldehyde hydrate by 4.3 (±0.2) kcal/mol (25 C). The p* value for formationof the thiohemiacetal anion is estimated to be 3.0. This pro-vides a useful index for interpreting the p* value obtained for the rate of acyl transfers to thiolates in terms of the resemblance of the transition state to the anionic tetrahedral intermediate.
