In this study, the first part of the study nine novel 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-[3-etoxy-4-(4-methoxybenzensulfonyloxy)-benzylidenamino]-4,5-dihydro-1 <i>H </i>-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones were synthesized from the reactions of the corresponding 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1 <i>H </i>-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones with 2-ethoxy-4-formylphenyl 4-methoxybenzenesulfonate, which was obtained from the reaction of 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 4-methoxybenzensulfonyl chloride by using triethylamine. The new compounds synthesized were also characterized by using IR and <sup>1 </sup>H-NMR, <sup>13 </sup>C-NMR spectral data. The second part of the study, nine novel 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-[3-etoxy-4-(4-methoxybenzensulfonyloxy)-benzylidenamino]-4,5-dihydro-1 <i>H </i>-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones were titrated potentiometrically with TBAH (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide) in four different non-aqueous solvents (isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol, acetone and <i>N,N </i>-dimethylformamide) and graphs were drawn for all cases. The half notralization potentials and p <i>K </i> <sub>a </sub> values were determined by half neutralization method. The effects of solvents and molecular structure upon acidity were also discussed. </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={ISRES Publishing}
