Abstract

Abstract We have developed a convenient method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl disulfides under mild conditions in excellent yields. The described method is based on the straightforward preparation of 5, 5-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1, 3, 2-dioxaphosphorinane-2-sulfenyl bromide from readily available 5, 5-dimethyl-2-sulfanyl-2-thioxo-1, 3, 2-dioxaphosphorinane or bis (5, 5-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1, 3, 2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-yl) disulfide. The unsymmetrical ...
