Abstract
We present here a clean and fast synthesis of organic disulfides starting from thiols using glycerol as solvent under microwave irradiation. This efficient method is general for aromatic, aliphatic, and functionalized thiols, affording the corresponding disulfides in good to excellent yields after easy work up. Glycerol can be easily recovered and utilized for further oxidation reactions.
