Abstract

ABSTRACT A rapid and general method for the synthesis of symmetrical disulfides involves reaction of sulfur with sodium hydroxide under PTC-microwave irradiation condition to give sodium disulfide, which reacts with alkyl halides to afford the disulfides in good to excellent isolated yields.
