An efficient one-pot method for the direct synthesis of organic disulfides from aryl/alkyl halides in the presence of CuCl using morpholin-4-ium morpholine-4-carbo-dithioate

Abstract

A novel and expedient route is described for the one-pot synthesis of symmetric diaryl (dialkyl) disulfides derivatives via morpholin-4-ium morpholine-4-carbo-dithioate and aryl (alkyl) halides reactions in the presence of CuCl in an aqueous solvent system. Morpholin-4-ium morpholine-4-carbo-dithioate used as new solid, stable and easy handle sulfur Sourcage.
