The oxidation of a series of aryl 1-methyl-1-phenylethyl sulfides with H2O2catalyzed by the two tetradentate nonheme-iron complexes [(PDP)FeII(SbF6)2] and [(BPMCN)FeII(OTf)2] occurs by an electron transfer-oxygen transfer (ET/OT) mechanism as supported by the observation of products deriving from fragmentation of the corresponding radical cations in association with S-oxidation products (sulfoxides). © 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
