Abstract
A new microwave-assisted synthesis methodology for the preparation of substituted disulfide derivatives is presented. 4-Substituted sulfenimides were reacted with 4-substituted thiols under neat (to right doughy consistency) conditions in chloroform, with both microwave heating and conventional methods. The resulting 4-substituted disulfide derivatives were obtained at higher yields and in shorter reaction times with microwave heating. Their chemistry was confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, infrared (IR), and elemental analysis.
