Abstract
The oxidation of organic sulfides with iron(III)-polypyridyl complexes [Fe(NN)3]3+ proceeds through an electron transfer mechanism and an increase in the methanol content in the methanol–water mixture favors the reaction. The reaction is catalyzed by both the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and the cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The micellar catalysis in the presence of SDS is accounted for in terms of strong binding of the cationic oxidant with the anionic surfactant and the development of positive charge on sulfur center of substrate in the transition state. The micellar catalysis observed on the reaction involving a trication, [Fe(NN)3]3+, in the presence of CTAB indicates the importance of hydrophobic interaction between the micelle and hydrophobic ligand of [Fe(NN)3]3+. The micellar catalysis is explained in terms of a pseudophase ion exchange model.Keywords
