Abstract
The conformational equilibria of 2-carboxy-1,4-butanedioic acid and its mono-, di-, and trianions were estimated by NMR couplings in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Intramolecular hydrogen bonding was inferred for the mono- and dianions, but not for the triacid. For the di- and trianions, the ^3/_(HH) couplings were consistent with the negative carboxylate groups being much closer together than might be expected from electrostatic repulsion considerations. The successive triacid pK_a values were estimated as 7.0, 13.4, and ∼20(?) on the Bordwell scale.
