The kinetics of oxidation of (phenylthio)acetic acid and few para-substituted (phenylthio)acetic acids by vanadium(V) and iron(III) have been studied in acid medium. In both the cases , the order in substrate and oxidant is one each. Both the reactions are catalysed by hydrogen ions and follow a free radical path. A high negative ρ value (-3.64) is obtained in the case of vanadium(V) oxidation and the product is the corresponding diphenyldisulphide. The ρ value obtained in the iron(III) oxidation is -1.22 and the identified product is its sulphoxide. On the basis of the kinetic results suitable mechanisms have been proposed and discussed.
