Abstract
Relative basicities of the lone pairs of the acetate ion have been determined using ab initio calculations for the gas phase and Monte Carlo simulations for the aqueous phase. The syn lone pair is found to be more basic by only 1.25 pK~a~ units. This small difference is the result of a large intrinsic preference for the syn conformer of the conjugate acid in the gas phase, offset by an almost equally large preferential solvation of the anti conformer in the aqueous phase. The better solvation of the anti conformer is due to stronger soluteβsolvent interactions. Β© 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract The COSMOβRS method, a combination of the quantum chemical dielectric continuum solvation model COSMO with a statistical thermodynamics treatment for realistic solvation simulations, has been used for the prediction of base pK~a~ constants. For a variety of 43 organic bases the directly
N.m.r. spectra (lH and 13C) have shown that, of three inososes studied, the 2,3,4,6/5-isomer exists in solution as the keto form, and the 2,4,6/3,Sisomer is partially, and the 2,3,5/4,6\_isomer is almost fully, hydrated. In alkaline solution, each of the inososes rapidly loses a molecule of water, t
