We synthesized a series of small symmetrical unsaturated disulfides by a multi-step reaction starting from organic alcohols, and we performed a preliminary test to evaluate the effect of these compounds on the viability of A549 lung cancer cells. The garlic-derived natural compound diallyl disulfide, known for its anticancer activity, was used as the lead compound in this study. We synthesized five DADS analogues having different carbon chain lengths and different positions of the double bonds. Two analogues exhibited a promising antitumor activity in vitro, and the allylic double bond did not seem to be the main driving force.

, p. 282 - 284 (2007)
Tetramethylammonium fluorochromate oxidizes alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones without polymerization of double bonds, overoxidation, and other side reactions. This reagent is effective for oxidation of thiols to disulfides.

Temperature-and solvent-induced selective synthesis of trisulfides and disulfides is demonstrated. A remarkable selectivity was achieved using Na2S as a sulfur-Transfer agent under mild, greener, catalyst-free and additive-free conditions. This study reveals trisulfides as a better model than disulfides in general for a sustained release of H2S and potent anti-cancer activities.

Staphylococcus aureus is a WHO Priority II pathogen for its capability to cause acute to chronic infections and to resist antibiotics, thus severely impacting healthcare systems worldwide. In this context, it is urgently desired to discover novel molecules to thwart the continuing emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Disulphide containing small molecules has gained prominence as antibacterials. As their conventional synthesis requires tedious synthetic procedure and sometimes toxic reagents, a green and environmentally benign protocol for their synthesis has been developed through which a series of molecules were obtained and evaluated for antibacterial activity against ESKAPE pathogen panel. The hit compound was tested for cytotoxicity against Vero cells to determine its selectivity index and time-kill kinetics was determined. The activity of hit was determined against a panel of S. aureus multi-drug resistant clinical isolates. Also, its ability to synergize with FDA approved drugs was tested as was its ability to reduce biofilm. We identified bis(2-bromophenyl) disulphide (2t) as possessing equipotent antimicrobial activity against S. aureus including MRSA and VRSA strains. Further, 2t exhibited a selectivity index of 25 with concentration-dependent bactericidal activity, synergized with all drugs tested and significantly reduced preformed biofilm. Taken together, 2t exhibits all properties to be positioned as novel scaffold for anti-staphylococcal therapy.

A one-pot and efficient synthesis of dialkyl dichalcogenides (S, Se) in aqueous media under catalyst-free conditions using benzylic, allylic and primary halides with elemental sulfur and selenium has been developed. Also, this procedure was extended to preparation of trisulfides and triselenides from secondary and tertiary halides in same condition. In all cases, products can be obtained in good to excellent yield in short reactions time.
Simple and green method for synthesis of symmetrical dialkyl disulfides and trisulfides from alkyl halides in water; PMOxT as a sulfur donor

, p. 134 - 141 (2017/03/07)
An environmentally new, mild and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of dialkyl disulfides and dialkyl trisulfides in aqueous conditions by a reaction between alkyl halides (and tosylate) and potassium-5-methyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiolate (PMOxT) as a sulfur transfer reagent. The advantages of this method are that it occurs under mild reaction conditions, it is base free, it uses water as the solvent and it occurs in high yields. A variety of dialkyl disulfides and dialkyl trisulfides can be obtained in good to excellent yields up to 98%.
Europhtal (8020) efficiently catalyzes the aerobic oxidation of in situ generated thiols to symmetric disulfides (disulfanes)

, p. 10 - 17 (2017/02/10)
Efficient, odorless and scalable synthetic protocols have been introduced for the preparation of symmetric alkyl disulfides by treatment of the corresponding organic halides with thiourea and NaHCO3in the presence of commercially available Europhtal catalyst (8020) in both H2O and poly ethylene glycol (PEG-200) media at 80–90 °C. Structurally diverse primary, secondary, allylic and benzylic halides were examined successfully whereas, the result with tert-butyl bromide was not satisfactory. Also, another procedure has been introduced for achieving symmetric aryl disulfides in high yields by reacting aryl halides, thiourea and NaHCO3in PEG-200 at 115–120 °C using CuI along with Europhtal catalysts. The results showed that the aerobic oxidation of in situ generated thiols proceeded efficiently in the presence of Europhtal catalyst giving the symmetric disulfide without contamination by symmetric sulfide side-product.

A sulfur transfer reagent was produced in situ upon stirring a mixture of KCN and CS2 in DMF at r.t. for 15 min, which after heating with an alkyl halide or aryl halide and CuI gave the corresponding symmetric dialkyl or diaryl disulfide, respectively, in high to excellent yields.

A practical method to synthesize symmetric disulfides from alkyl halides has been developed. Using this procedure primary, secondary, benzylic and allylic disulfides were prepared by treating the corresponding alkyl halides with thiourea and HMDS in DMSO at 50 °C within 10-24 h in high yields.
