Oxidation of Thiols with 1‐Butyl‐4‐aza‐1‐azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane Dichromate (BABOD) under Non‐Aqueous Conditions.

Abstract

under Non-Aqueous Conditions. -The title dichromate appears to be a mild, efficient, stable and inexpensive reagent for converting thiols into corresponding disulfides (23 examples). A variety of functionalities such as hydroxy, methoxy, nitro, halo and carboxy are unaffected during the thiol oxidation. -(HAJIPOUR*, A. R.; BAGHERI, H.; RUOHO, A. E.; J. Chem.
