The rate constants for the reactions of horseradish peroxidase compound I (k1) and compound II (k2) with three 4-substituted arylboronic acids, which enhance chemiluminescence in the horseradish peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of luminol by hydrogen peroxide, were determined at pH 8.6, total ionic strength 0.11 M, using stopped-flow kinetic measurements. For comparison, the rate constants of the reactions of 4-iodophenol with compounds I and II were also determined under the same experimental conditions. The three arylboronic acid derivatives and their rate constants are: 4-biphenylboronic acid, k1 = (1.21 ± 0.08) × 106 M−1 s−1, k2 = (4.6 ± 0.2) × 105 M−1 s−1; 4-bromophenylboronic acid, k1 = (5.5 ± 0.2) × 104 M−1 s−1, k2 = (3.6 ± 0.2) × 104 M−1 s−1; and 4-iodophenylboronic acid, k1 = (1.1 ± 0.2) × 105 M−1 s−1, k2 = (1.3 ± 0.1) × 104 M−1 s−1. 4-Biphenylboronic acid, which shows comparable luminescent enhancement to 4-iodophenol, has the highest reactivity in the reduction of both compounds I and II among the three arylboronic acid derivatives tested.
