Abstract

Mercaptans undergo smooth and quantitative oxidation to the corresponding disulfides with iodine monobromide in non-aqueous (dimethyl sulfoxide) medium, which has been made the basis of a simple, rapid and rugged method for the determination of mercaptan-based drugs viz. mercaptopurine and dimercaprol. The method has been thoroughly tested with a number of mercaptans before applying it to drugs. The salient features of the method are discussed.
