Disulfide bond was cleaved by a catalytic amount of nitric oxide in the presence of oxygen, which was confirmed by experiments employing two symmetrical disulfides. The reaction resulted in the formation of unsymmetrical disulfides in nearly 50% yields. The steric hindrance of alkyl disulfide slowed the reaction rate, and an electron-donating group on the aryl disulfide promoted the reaction. The substituent and S-nitrosothiol effects suggested that the reaction was initialized with an oxidative process by NO+.

The metal-free S[sbnd]S bond exchange reaction of symmetrical disulfides catalyzed by NFSI is described. This novel protocol provides a facile and efficient approach to accessing important unsymmetrical disulfides. Furthermore, this strategy could also be utilized in the late-stage functionalization of amino acids, drugs, and natural products. The broad substrate scope, good functional group tolerance and easy accessibility of catalyst indicate that this strategy affords a green and practical complementary method to various unsymmetrical disulfides.
