Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.55.641

The title compound oxidized thiolsto disulfides, sulfides to sulfoxides, hydroquinone or catechol to benzoquinones, and phosphine to phosphine oxide in high yields under very mild conditions.In addition, it functioned as a useful reagent for the syntheses of 1,2,4-thiadiazole derivatives from thioureas or thioamides.
