The kinetics of oxidation of (phenylthio)acetic acid (PTAA) by N-Bromophthalimide (NBP) in acetonitrile-water solvent mixture at 298 K in the presence of perchloric acid has been followed potentiometrically. The reaction is first-order each in NBP and PTA

Electrophilic and nucleophilic pathways in ligand oxide mediated reactions of phenylsulfinylacetic acids with oxo(salen)chromium(V) complexes

The mechanism of oxidative decarboxylation of phenylsulfinylacetic acids (PSAA) by oxo(salen)Cr(V)+ ion in the presence of ligand oxides has been studied spectrophotometrically in acetonitrile medium. Addition of ligand oxides (LO) causes a red shift in the λmax values of oxo(salen) complexes and an increase in absorbance with the concentration of LO along with a clear isobestic point. The reaction shows first-order dependence on oxo(salen)-chromium(V)+ ion and fractional-order dependence on PSAA and ligand oxide. Michaelis-Menten kinetics without kinetic saturation was observed for the reaction. The order of reactivity among the ligand oxides is picoline N-oxide > pyridine N-oxide > triphenylphosphine oxide. The low catalytic activity of TPPO was rationalized. Both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents in the phenyl ring of PSAA facilitate the reaction rate. The Hammett plots are non-linear upward type with negative ρ value for electron-donating substituents, (ρ- = -0.740 to -4.10) and positive ρ value for electron-withdrawing substituents (ρ+ = +0.057 to +0.886). Non-linear Hammett plot is explained by two possible mechanistic scenarios, electrophilic and nucleophilic attack of oxo(salen)chromium(V)+-LO adduct on PSAA as the substituent in PSAA is changed from electron-donating to electron-withdrawing. The linearity in the log k vs. Eox plot confirms single-electron transfer (SET) mechanism for PSAAs with electron-donating substituents.

Modulation of catalytic activity by ligand oxides in the sulfoxidation of phenylmercaptoacetic acids by oxo(salen)chromium(V) complexes

Mechanism of sulfoxidation of eleven para-substituted phenyl mercaptoacetic acids (PMAAs) by three oxo(salen)chromium(V)+PF6?complexes in the presence of different ligand oxides (LOs) such as triphenylphosphine oxide, pyridine N-oxide and 4-picoline N-oxide have been studied spectrophotometrically in 100% acetonitrile medium. Spectral and kinetic profiles establish the formation of adduct, O[dbnd]Cr(V)(salen)+-LO as the reactive intermediate in the catalytic cycle. The rate of sulfoxidation is found to be enhanced significantly by the addition of LOs and introduction of substituent in PMAA and salen complex. Both electron releasing and electron withdrawing substituents in the substrate and oxidant facilitate the rate of sulfoxidation. Correlation with Hammett constants yields a non-linear concave upward curve. Based on the experimental results and substituent effects two different mechanisms, a direct oxygen atom transfer (DOT) for PMAAs with electron withdrawing substituents and a single electron transfer for PMAAs with electron donating substituents have been postulated.

The kinetics of oxidation of (phenylthio)acetic acid (PTAA) with N-chlorosaccharin (NCSA) have been studied potentiometrically in 80:20 (v/v) acetonitrile-water medium at 298 K. The reaction is first-order each with respect to PTAA and NCSA and shows a ne

Mechanistic study on the oxidation of (phenylthio)acetic acids by oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes and the reactivity-selectivity principle

A systematic study on the kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of several (para-substituted phenylthio)acetic acids with various substituted oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes in acetonitrile at 20 °C is presented. The kinetic data indicate that the reaction is second-order overall, first-order each in (phenylthio)acetic acid and oxo(salen)manganese(V) complex. Rate studies with substituted (phenylthio)acetic acids give an excellent Hammett correlation with σ+/σ- constants and the ρ-values are in the range of -0.82 to -1.17 for different oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes. The log k2 values observed in the oxidation of each (phenylthio)acetic acid by substituted oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes correlate with 2σ, giving ρ-values from 0.26 to 0.56. A mechanism involving single electron transfer from the sulfur center of the substrate to the oxo complex in the rate-controlling step is envisaged. Kinetic data were obtained over a temperature range of 15-35 °C and the activation parameters evaluated. Correlation analyses show the presence of an inverse relationship between reactivity and selectivity in the reactions of various (phenylthio)acetic acids with a given oxo(salen)manganese(V) complex and also in various oxo(salen)manganese(V) complexes with a given (phenylthio)acetic acid. Mathematical treatment of the results shows the operation of a valid reactivity-selectivity principle in this redox system.

KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF OXIDATION OF (ARYLTHIO)ACETIC ACIDS BY PYRIDINIUM HYDROBROMIDE PERBROMIDE

Oxidation of several monosubstituted (phenylthio)acetic acids (PTAA) by pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide (PHPB) was studied in aqueous acetic acid.The reaction is first order with respect to PHPB.Michaelis-Menten type kinetics are observed with respect to (arylthio)acetic acid.The effect of solvent composition indicates that the transition state is more polar than the reactants.The formation constants of the intermediate substrate-PHPB complexes and the rates of their decomposition were determined at different temperatures.The rates of oxidation of para and meta-substituted (phenylthio)acetic acids were correlated with Hammett's substituent constants.The ρ value is -1.60 at 35 deg c.The rates of oxidation of ortho substituted compounds are correlated with Charton's triparametric equation.A mechanism involving the decomposition of the intermediate complex in the slow rate-determining step affording a sulphonium ion which hydrolyses in a subsequent fast step to the sulphoxide is proposed.
