From the data of vapor pressure osmometry the activity of water, osmotic coefficients, and the values of activity coefficients of two derivatives of histidine: N-Boc-L-histidine (Boc-His-OH, m=0.005-0.14 mol.kg(-1)) and N-Boc-L-histidine-methyl ether (Boc-His-OMe, m=0.005-0.05 mol.kg(-1)) are obtained in aqueous solutions at 310.15 K. From the comparison of water activity and osmotic coefficient values it follows that Boc-His-OMe shows a more pronounced deviation from ideality than Boc-His-OH. Both components exhibit a stronger non-ideality than histidine and a weaker one than His center dot HCl. By means of potentiometric titration the acid-base properties of Boc-His-OMe are investigated and the ionization constant at 298.15 K is determined. The pK value related to the acid-base equilibrium of the nitrogen atom in the imido group of the imidazole ring is higher (6.47) than the corresponding value of histidine (6.00).
