A number of substituted o-aminophenols has been investigated as redox mediators of the thiol oxidation to disulfides. The electrooxidation of o-aminophenols leads to the corresponding o-iminobenzoquinones. These compounds react with thiols in the solution with a formation of disulfides. It was established that the use of 4,6-di-tert-butyl-2-(tert-butylamino)phenol as a redox mediator can reduce the overpotential of the thiol oxidation by 0.2-1.4 V depending on the nature of the coupling thiols. The unsymmetrical disulfides with alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl substituents were obtained as the result of the indirect electrosynthesis.

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.

Aromatic heterocyclic oxides, such as dibenzothiophene S-oxide (DBTO), have been suggested to release ground state atomic oxygen [O(3P)] upon irradiation, and as such, they have been used to create a condensed phase reactivity profile for O(3P). However, thiols, which are highly reactive with O(3P) in the gas phase, were not previously investigated. An earlier study of O(3P) with proteins in solution indicated a preference for thiols. A further investigation of the apparent thiophilicity provided the subject for this study. DBTO was employed as a putative O(3P)-precursor. However, the effective rate of O(3P) formation was found to be dependent on reactant concentrations in certain cases. All reactants were found to increase the rate of deoxygenation to some extent, but in the presence of reactants containing an alcohol linked to a reactive functional group, deoxygenation occurred substantially more rapidly. The rate enhancement was quantified and attributed to the reaction of activated O atom within the solvent cage prior to escape into the bulk solution. Through competition experiments, the relative rate constants of O(3P) with thiols and other functional groups were found. A small preference for primary thiols was observed over other thiols, sulfides, and alkenes. A much larger preference was observed for thiols, sulfides, and alkenes over aromatic groups. In summary, DBTO was successfully used as an O(3P)-precursor, and the thiophilicity of O(3P) was confirmed and quantified.
