Síntese de Dissulfetos Utilizando Glicerol com Solvente e sob Irradiação de Micro-ondas

Abstract

We present here a clean and fast synthesis of organic disulfides starting from thiols using glycerol as solvent under microwave irradiation. This efficient method is general for aromatic, aliphatic and functionalized thiols, affording the corresponding disulfides in good to excellent yields after easy work up. Glycerol can be easily recovered and utilized for further oxidation reactions.
