Abstract

Oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic thiols to the corresponding symmetric disulfides was achieved by using POCl₃/H₂O₂. A new procedure for the oxidation of thiols to disulfides without any over oxidation has been reported. It is noteworthy that the reaction is clean and tolerates oxidatively sensitive functional groups.
