By performing titrations in several different solvent / water ratios, the pKas of water-insoluble compounds can be derived using the well-known Yasuda-Shedlovsky extrapolation.
The use of cosolvent pKa assays for poorly soluble compounds

Applications Note

The ionization constant or pKa is a solution property of a compound. The formation of a precipitate during a pKa acid/base titration therefore prevents the accurate measurement of pKa.
