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.

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.
