Direct oxidation of boronates by peroxynitrite: Mechanism and implications in fluorescence imaging of peroxynitrite

In this study, we show that boronates, a class of synthetic organic compounds, react rapidly and stoichiometrically with peroxynitrite (ONOO −) to form stable hydroxy derivatives as major products. Using a stopped-flow kinetic technique, we measured the second-order rate constants for the reaction w...
