Sm. Strawbridge et al., Electrochemical detection of catechol and dopamine as their phenylboronateester derivatives, PHYS CHEM P, 2(23), 2000, pp. 2393-2394
By virtue of its reaction with phenylboronic acid to form a boronate ester,
dopamine can be detected electrochemically in aqueous solutions, at physio
logical pH, in the presence of excess ascorbic acid.
