Alteration of electronic effect causes change in rate determining step: Oxovanadium(IV)–salen catalyzed sulfoxidation of phenylmercaptoacetic acids by hydrogen peroxide

Sulfoxidation of a series of phenylmercaptoacetic acids (PMAA) by hydrogen peroxide catalysed by oxovanadium(IV)–salen complexes has been carried out spectrophotometrically in 100% acetonitrile medium. The formation and involvement of hydroperoxovanadium(

Competitive behavior of nitrogen based axial ligands in the oxovanadium(IV)-salen catalyzed sulfoxidation of phenylmercaptoacetic acid

The sulfoxidation of twelve phenylmercaptoacetic acids (PMAA) by H2O2 catalyzed by three oxovanadium(IV)-salen complexes, having varied substituents on PMAA and salen with regard to their position, size and inductive effect, has been performed spectrophotometrically in 100percent acetonitrile medium. Three nitrogen bases (NB), pyridine (Py), imidazole (ImH) and 1-methylimidazole (MeIm), were used as axial ligands. It has been found that the rate of sulfoxidation is not only tuned by the substituents on PMAA and salen, but it is also varied by the addition of nitrogen bases. The observed order of retardation found among the different nitrogen bases is ImH > MeIm > Py. The rate of reaction decreases with the increase in concentration of the NB axial ligands. The strongly binding ImH shows the least reactivity. Hydroperoxovanadium(V)-salen has been proposed as the sole active oxidizing species. A detailed mechanistic study reveals that the low rate constant values in the presence of the nitrogen base is due to the existence of competition of NB with H2O2 and PMAA during the formation of active species and the coordination of PMAA with active species, respectively. Both electron donating and electron withdrawing substituents on PMAA retard the sulfoxidation rate significantly. The Hammett correlation between the rate constants and substituent constants shows a non-linear concave downward curve which is explained by the existence of two different rate determining steps within the same mechanism; coordination of PMAA with the active species for electron withdrawing substituents and transfer of oxygen to PMAA for electron donating substituents. All the experimental observations are explained by proposing a suitable mechanism.

Importance of ground state stabilization in the oxovanadium(IV)-salophen mediated reactions of phenylsulfinylacetic acids by hydrogen peroxide – Non-linear Hammett correlation

A systematic study on the oxidative decarboxylation of a series of phenylsulfinylacetic acids (PSAA) by hydrogen peroxide with four oxovanadium(IV)-salophen catalysts in 100% acetonitrile medium is presented. The hydroperoxovanadium(V)-salophen generated from the reaction mixture is identified as the bonafide active oxidizing species. Introduction of electron donating groups (EDG) in the oxovanadium(IV)-salophen catalyst and electron withdrawing groups (EWG) in PSAA enhances the reactivity, whereas EWG in the catalyst and EDG in PSAA have a retarding effect on the reaction. A Hammett correlation displays a non-linear downward curvature, which consists of two intersecting straight lines and the ρ value shifts from small positive to moderately high as the substituents change from EWG to EDG. The importance of the ground state stabilization of PSAA is inferred from a linear Yukawa–Tsuno plot. Based on the observed substituent effects and the spectral changes, a mechanism involving electrophilic attack of PSAA on the nucleophilic peroxo oxygen atom of the vanadium complex in the rate determining step followed by oxygen atom transfer is proposed.

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.

A paradigm shift in rate determining step from single electron transfer between phenylsulfinylacetic acids and iron(III) polypyridyl complexes to nucleophilic attack of water to the produced sulfoxide radical cation: a non-linear Hammett

Mechanism of oxidative decarboxylation of phenylsulfinylacetic acids (PSAAs) by iron(III) polypyridyl complexes in aqueous acetonitrile medium has been investigated spectrophotometrically. An initial intermediate formation between PSAA and [Fe(NN)3]3+ is confirmed from the observed Michaelis–Menten kinetics and fractional order dependence on PSAA. Significant rate retardation with concentration of [Fe(NN)3]3+ is rationalized on the basis of coordination of a water molecule at the carbon atom adjacent to the ring nitrogen of the metal polypyridyl complexes by nucleophilic attack at higher concentrations. Electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing substituents in PSAA facilitate the reaction and Hammett correlation gives an upward ‘V’ shaped curve. The apparent upward curvature is rationalized based on the change in the rate determining step from electron transfer to nucleophilic attack, by changing the substituents from electron-releasing to electron-withdrawing groups. Electron-releasing substituents in PSAA accelerate the electron transfer from PSAA to the complex and also stabilize the intermediate through resonance interaction leading to negative reaction constants (ρ). Conversely, electron-withdrawing groups, while retarding the electron transfer exert an accelerating effect on the nucleophilic attack of H2O which leading to low magnitude of ρ+ compared to high ρ? values of electron-releasing groups. Marcus theory is applied, and a fair agreement is seen with the experimental values. Copyright

Spectral and mechanistic investigation of Oxidative Decarboxylation of Phenylsulfinylacetic Acid by Cr(VI)

The oxidative decarboxylation of phenylsulfinylacetic acid (PSAA) by Cr(VI) in 20% acetonitrile - 80% water (v/v) medium follows overall second order kinetics, first order each with respect to [PSAA] and [Cr(VI)] at constant [H+] and ionic strength. The reaction is acid catalysed, the order with respect to [H+] is unity and the active oxidizing species is found to be HCrO3+. The reaction mechanism involves the rate determining nucleophilic attack of sulfur atom of PSAA on chromium of HCrO3+ forming a sulfonium ion intermediate. The intermediate then undergoes a,β-cleavage leading to the liberation of CO2. The product of the reaction is found to be methyl phenyl sulfone. The operation of substituent effect shows that PSAA containing electron-releasing groups in the meta- and para-positions accelerate the reaction rate while electron withdrawing groups retard the rate. An excellent correlation is found to exist between log k2 and Hammett s constants with a negative value of reaction constant. The p value decreases with increase in temperature evidencing the high reactivity and low selectivity in the case of substituted PSAAs.

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.
