Abstract

The relative potencies of a series of substituted anilines as acetyl acceptors in the enzymatic N‐acetylation reaction have been correlated using physicochemical substituent constants (π, σ), molecular connectivity indices (1χ, 1χv), and newly formulated information–theoretic topological indices (IC, SIC). Results indicate a predominant role of the topological steric parameters in determining the rates of the N‐acetyltransferase reaction.
