Abstract
Abstract Earlier works on oxidation of sulfides, thiols, and disulfides with both chemical and enzymic systems are reviewed. Enzymic oxidations of thiols and disulfides are compared with their chemical oxidations with N 2 O 4 and H 2 O 2 by the use of unsymmetrical disulfides, thiolsulfinates and O 18 -tracer technique. In both enzymic oxidation and that with N 2 O 4 , oxidation of disulfides to thiolsulfinates is more facile than that of thiolsulfinates to thiolsulfonates, which is presumed to be mainly the end by-products in the oxidation of either thiols or disulfides to sulfonic acids.
