Resumen:
A group of Piloty's acid (N-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide) derivatives were synthesized and fully characterized in
order to assess the rates and pH of HNO (azanone, nitroxyl) donation in aqueous media. The derivatives, with
electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents include methyl, nitro, fluoro, tri-isopropyl, trifluoromethyl
and methoxy groups. Themost interestingmodulation observed is the change in pHrange inwhich the compounds
are able to donate HNO.UV?visible kineticmeasurements at different pH values were used to evaluate the decomposition
rate of the donors. A novel technique based on electrochemicalmeasurements using a Co-porphyrin sensor
was used to assess the release of HNO as a function of pH, by direct measurement of [HNO]. The results were
contrasted with DFT calculations in order to understand the electronic effects exerted by the ring substituents,
which drastically modify the pH range of donation. For example, while Piloty's acid donates HNO from pH 9.3, the
corresponding fluoro derivative starts donating at pH 4.0.
