Abstract
The oxidation of aminoethanethiol (1) was investigated in acid solutions on a glass carbon anode. It was shown that at relatively low anode potentials thiyl radicals RS· are released into the solution, but this does not lead to binding of the oxygen in the solution. Raising the anode potential leads to binding of oxygen, which is probably due to the formation of the intermediate RS+. The oxidation of 1 was studied in Ce(SO4)2+H2SO4 solution. It was shown that under certain conditions the intermediate is RS+, which subsequently converts to a product that could not be identified as any previously described product of the oxidation of thiols. Proposals are made regarding its structure and conversion pathways.
