Abstract

Results of oxidation of thiols to disulfides with 1,3‐dibromo‐5,5‐dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) are described. A simple addition of 0.20–0.25 mol equivalent of solid DBDMH to thiol in chloroform at room temperature yielded the disulfides in excellent yield. The reaction is extremely fast and gave no other oxidized side products.
