ChemInform Abstract: Relative Nucleophilicities of Aryldisulfide and Thiolate Ions in Dimethylacetamide Estimated from Their Reaction Rates with Alkyl Halides.

Abstract

ChemInform Abstract The aryldisulfide ions are generated by electroreduction of (I) in the presence of sulfur. The rate constants of their reaction with the halides (II) to yield (IV) are up to ten times higher than those of the corresponding formation of (III).
