How does strength of boric acid solution increase in presence of salicylic acid?












11












$begingroup$


A while ago, I read that salicylic acid can make boric acid solution strongly acidic when it's added to it.



To my knowledge, I know that boric acid becomes a strong acid in presence of cis-diols (except ethylene glycol). I also know that it happens due to increased stability of conjugate base by chelation using polyhydroxy compounds.



But I can't really make out the case with salicylic acid. I will be really thankful if you could shed some light on this topic.

boric acid and salicylic acid



Equilibrium will be far to the right, as a stable six membered ring is formed. The proton speaks for itself.

    By googling "boric acid salicylic acid"
    I have found the salicylic acid acts like it was a diol toward the boric acid, but just 1:1.
