Abstract

Oxidation of both aromatic and aliphatic thiols by 5-arylidene 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid was found to proceed readily to give disulfides in good yield with concomitant reduction of the oxidant to the dihydro compound. Thiol adduct of the dihydro compound was successfully applied to the synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfide under mild conditions in an excellent yield.
