Abstract

Unsymmetrical disulfides have been prepared from the corresponding thiols and bis-(5,5-dimethyl-2-thiono-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanyl)disulfide under mild conditions with good to excellent yields. The method can be applied to thiols bearing neutral, aromatic, basic or acidic functionalities with variable length of carbon chain.

Key words

unsymmetrical disulfides - alkanethiols - l-cysteine - thiophenol
