Abstract

Ferroceneboronic acid has been characterized by its UV and NMR spectrum and its dissociation constant in water/ethanol solvents has been determined. The kinetics of protodeboronation have been studied in the same solvents containing moderate concentrations of sulfuric acid; the H 0 acidity function has been evaluated throughout the range of the reaction media used. The log of the rate of reaction of ferroceneboronic acid depends linearly with unit slope on H 0. The solvent hydrogen isotope effect, the temperature dependence and the nature of acid catalysis have also been investigated. The reaction probably proceeds by an A- S E2-type mechanism.
