Abstract

The dimerization of thiols and selenols to the corresponding disulfides and diselenides under mild and neutral conditions in organic media is of practical importance in organic synthesis. Since thiols and selenols are easily oxidizable and may thus be over oxidized, extensive studies have been carried out to discover procedures for the controlled oxidation of these two classes of functional groups.'-'* As is usually the case, these reactions suffer ...
