Abstract

Since sulfonyl chlorides are easily prepared by the chlorosulfonation of arenes and alkanes, 2 their conversion to other organic sulfur compounds with sulfur in the lower oxidation states is synthetically useful. Among these, organic disulfides are important from the point of view of biological activity3 and industrial utilitqP and are valuable starting materials for the synthesis of a variety of sulfeny15 and sulfinyl6 compounds. Thus the reductive coupling ...
