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.

Oxidative coupling of two different thiols bearing aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, and hetero-aromatic moieties promoted by mild oxidizing agents, viz., sterically hindered o-benzo(imino)-quinones, carried out in N-methylpyrrolidone at room temperature led to unsymmetrical disulfides. Among the studied oxidizers, the most active was 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone, which, in contrast to 3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone, was not involved in the Michael addition. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the yields of the target unsymmetrical disulfides reach 81%.

A novel approach of electrolysis using alternating current was applied in the sulfur–sulfur bond metathesis of symmetrical disulfides towards unsymmetrical disulfides. As initially expected, a statistical distribution in disulfides was obtained. Furthermore, the influence of electrode polarisation by alternating current was investigated on a two-disulfide matrix. The highly dynamic nature of this chemistry resulted in the creation of dynamic disulfide libraries by expansion of the matrices, consisting of up to six symmetrical disulfides. In addition, mixing of matrices and stepwise expanding of a matrix by using alternating current electrolysis were realised.

A versatile Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction to various unsymmetrical disulfanes has been presented, from phthalimide-carried disulfur transfer reagents and commercially available boronic acids under mild and practical conditions. The method features the unprecedented use of phthalimide-carried disulfurating reagents (Harpp reagent) in cross-coupling chemistry and is highlighted by the broad substrate scopes, even applicable for the transfer of aryl-disulfur moieties (ArSS-). Notably, the robustness of this methodology is shown by the late-stage modification of bioactive scaffolds of coumarin, estrone, and captopril.
