Aromatic, aliphatic, and alicyclic thiols readily underwent oxidative coupling with chemical manganese dioxide in hexane to afford the corresponding disulfides in essentially quantitative yields under relatively mild conditions.

An inexpensive, stable, commercially available reagent, chemical manganese dioxide, can be used for the oxidation of a wide variety of benzylic alcohols and the C0C bond cleavage of aromatic diols in hexane under relatively mild conditions.
