Bis (Salicylaldehyde-1,2-Phenylene Diimine)Mn(III) Chloride (Mn(III)-Salophen) Catalysed Oxidation of Thiols to Symmetrical Disulfides Using Urea Hydrogen Peroxide (UHP) as Mild and Efficient Oxidant
A variety of thiols were oxidised efficiently by a catalytic amount of Mn(III)-salophen 1 in the presence of urea hydrogen peroxide adduct 2 as a convenient and mild oxidant to afford the corresponding disulfides in high yields in quite short reaction times.
