Abstract

Reaction of Ph3P+SRC104-, prepared electrochemically from RSSR and Ph3P, with thiols in n-hexane at room temperature gave unsymmetrical disulphides in excellent yields with recovery of Ph3P. ... Various methods for synthesizing unsymmetrical disulphides have been developed,lJ and the difficulties in the synthesis are well documented. Among the conceivable stoicheiome- tries for the disulphide formation, equation (1) is one of the RlSSRl + 2R2SH ...
