“…Sweetening of catalyst poisons thiols to low volatile disulfides in oil industries and also industrial applications of disulfides in vulcanization of rubbers and elastomers led us to investigate the introduction and applications of new member of this category of reagents in oxidation of thiols to the corresponding disulfides. This conversion has been accomplished using reagents such as molecular oxygen, [1] metal ions, [2] Bu3SnOMe/FeCl3, [3]nitric oxide, [4] halogens, [5][6][7] sodium perborate, [8]borohydride exchange resin (BER)-transition metal salt system, [9] a morpholine iodine complex, [10] pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), [11] ammonium persulfate, [12] KMnO4 / CuSO4, [13] and Tributylammonium Halochromates [14]. There are some disadvantages in these reagents such as availability of the reagent, cumbersome procedure, high cost of the reagent, over oxidation or oxidation of other functional groups presented in thiols.…”
