Abstract

The sulfur-sulfur bond in organic disulfides may be cleaved by nucleophilic, electrophilic, and radical processes. 1 Several transition-metal complexes have also been shown to be effective reagents for cleavage of the sulfur-sulfur bond in organic disulfides by oxidative addition, leading to the formation of various new sulfur-containing transition-metal complexes. 2 In catalytic reactions, however, sulfur-containing compounds have long ...
