Characterization and Comparative Studies on Conventional and Microwave Synthesis of Some Disulfides

Abstract

Some disulfide derivatives have been prepared by microwave assisted synthesis methodology from thiophthalimides(sulfenimides) and thiols in a modified microwave oven under reflux at 600 Watt in ethanol. Elucidation of the structures of the synthesized compounds has been performed by IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic methods.
