Abstract
Kinetic studies are often valuable in the investigation of reaction mechanisms. They can reveal the molecularity of a reaction and perhaps give an indication of possible intermediate steps. Comparisons of rate studies, such as kinetic isotope effects, can indicate the rate determining step of a reaction. Finally, rate studies can reveal when changes in reaction mechanism accompany changes in one or more kinetically significant variables. This study investigates the possibility of a new or altered reaction mechanism as one kinetic variable is changed. The reaction of interest is the hydrolysis of benzeneboronic acid in concentrated phosphoric acid media.
