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

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.
