Abstract :
Tripropylammonium fluorochromate is an efficient and new reagent, which prepares easily and oxidizes thiols to the corresponding disulfides quickly. The reactions perform cleanly and controlled to stop at the disulfide stage without over-oxidation side products. Coupling of thiols to their corresponding disulfides studied in solution at room temperature and in solution under microwave radiation. The easy procedure, simple work-up, short reaction times, and excellent yields are another advantages of this reagent.
