N2  - pKa values (H2O at 25°C) have been measured for 3-substituted 1-naphthols and 4-substituted 2-naphthols and the results show that the behaviour of these compounds is similar to that of the equivalent naphthylamines. &#916;pKa values satisfy equations of the type: &#916;pKa = &#961;I&#963;I + &#961;R&#963;R, where &#963;I and &#963;R are inductive and mesomeric constants applying to meta-substituents. Reaction constants &#961;I and &#961;M are interpreted in terms of the energy terms involved and can be correlated with the a-electron distributions in the molecular species concerned.
