Title Conversion of sulfides to sulfoxides and thiols to disulfides with o-xylylenebis(triphenylphosphonium tribromide
Type JournalPaper
Keywords o-xylylenebis(triphenylphosphonium tribromide), oxidation, thiols, sulfides, disulfides, sulfoxides
Abstract o-Xylylenebis(triphenylphosphonium tribromide) (1) is an efficient reagent for the conversion of thiols to disulfides and sulfides to sulfoxides under neutral and anhydrous conditions in good to excellent yields. Selective oxidation of thiols in the presence of sulfides at room temperature is also observed with this reagent.
