One-pot conversion of alkyl halides to organic disulfides (disulfanes) using thiourea and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) in DMSO

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.

The synthesis of symmetrical disulfides by reacting organic halides with Na2S2O3·5H2O in DMSO

A one-pot, and scalable method to prepare symmetric disulfides from their corresponding primary, secondary, allylic, and benzylic halides has been developed. In this method, a disulfide is synthesized by reacting an alkyl halide with Na2S2O3·5H2O at 60-70 °C in DMSO.

One-pot synthesis of organic disulfides (disulfanes) from alkyl halides using sodium sulfide trihydrate and hexachloroethane or carbon tetrachloride in the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-200)

Abstract Symmetric disulfides are produced by treating their corresponding organic halides including benzylic, allylic, primary and secondary halides with Na2S·3H2O and C2Cl6 or CCl4 in PEG-200 at room temperature in high yields.

Graphene Oxide-Assisted One-Pot and Odorless Synthesis of Symmetrical Disulfides Using Primary and Secondary Alkyl Halides (Tosylates) and Thiourea as Sulfur Source Reagent

Graphene oxide is described as a heterogeneous oxidant for the synthesis of symmetrical disulfides through the in situ generation of thiols from primary and secondary alkyl halides (tosylates) and thiourea in wet acetonitrile. A variety of alkyl halides and alkyl tosylates can be converted to corresponding disulfides in good to excellent yields. This strategy is free of foul-smelling thiols.

One-pot efficient synthesis of disulfides from alkyl halides and alkyl tosylates using thiourea and elemental sulfur without contamination by higher polysulfides

An efficient and odorless synthesis of disulfides from alkyl halides using thiourea and elemental sulfur in the presence of sodium carbonate in wet polyethylene glycol (PEG 200) at 40 C without contamination by higher polysulfides has been developed. This procedure was then extended to preparation of disulfides from alkyl tosylates at 70 C.

Method for preparing aromatic diphenyl thioethers

The invention concerns a method for preparing aromatic diphenyl thioethers. More particularly the invention concerns the preparation of 4-chloro-4′-thiomethyldiphenylether. The inventive method for preparing an aromatic diphenyl thioether is characterised in that it consists in reacting in an aqueous medium a diazonium salt of an aromatic diphenyl compound with a disulphide sulphur compound, in the presence of an efficient amount of a coupling catalyst.
