Characterization and Comparative Studies on Conventional and Microwave Synthesis of Some Disulfides

Redox-Mediated and Microwave-Assisted Thiol Activation: Two Approaches to Unsymmetrical Disulfides Synthesis

“…In most cases, a combination of microwaves with oxidizers or bases is used to obtain disulfides. 27,28,[42][43][44][45][46][47] The oxidative coupling of aliphatic (С 3 -С 4 ) and (hetero-)aromatic thiols initiated by ecofriendly electric current or microwave heating is a promising direction in the field of green chemistry. On the one hand, this will make it possible to utilize of toxic sulfurous wastes from oil and gas refining, and on the other hand, to obtain biologically active unsymmetrical disulfides.…”
