Sažetak

The UV-Vis and IR characteristics of five novel aralkyl derivatives of pyridinium chloride, found to be reversible inhibitors of acetyl-cholinesterase, are reported. The dissociation constants of the individual keto and oxime functional groups were determined spectrophotometrically and discussed in terms of the known pK values of compounds with similar structures. The three examined derivatives of the phenacylpyridinium type contain in solution a considerable proportion of the enol form while their next higher homologues are present predominately in their keto forms. AM1 molecular-orbital calculations show that the much higher acidity of α-CH₂ group of benzoylethylpyridinium type compounds is a consequence of an anomeric effect.
