Abstract

The interconversion of disulfides and thiols is a fundamental transformation in organosulfur chemistry and such switching plays important roles in biological system. Of various reductants and oxidants, hydrogen and oxygen are apparently the most convenient. They are inexpensive, easy to remove, and produce water as the only byproduct. Since these reagents themselves are inert to the sulfur compounds, metal catalysts are employed. ... Hydrogen reduction of ...
