Hm. Meshram et al., Microwave thermolysis VII: Oxidative coupling of thiol acetates and estersusing "Clayan" in dry media, SYN COMMUN, 29(15), 1999, pp. 2705-2709
Disulfide bond formation by the oxidative cleavage of thiol acetates and th
iol esters using "Clayan" under microwave irradiation is described. The non
-metallic and inexpensive nature of the reagent are the important features
of the procedure.
