Thiosulfonic s-esters-511For Part 3 and 4 in the same series, see Ref. 13 and 26.. Mechanistic aspects of the reaction with chlorotrimethylsilane and sodium iodide
Thiosulfonic S-esters (1) are readily converted to disulfides (2) by chlorotrimethylsilane and sodium iodide. The reaction is shown to proceed through a complex mechanism, and more than one conversion pathway to disulfides must be considered. Evidence is presented for
