Abstract

Unsymmetrical disulfides of structure 2 have been synthesized; for their purification, chromatography on specially prepared acidic alumina was necessary. Thermally induced disproportionation of these disulfides appears to be kinetically first order. The relative disproportionation rates are correlated by the Hammett U-, p relationship; p= 1.1. These data and other evidence are interpreted in terms of disulfide cleavage which involves ...
