Abstract
We have developed convenient methods for the synthesis of symmetrical trisulfides under mild conditions in very good yields. The described methods are based on the straightforward preparation of (5,5-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorin-2-yl)disulfanyl derivatives from readily available 5,5-dimethyl-2-sulfanyl-2-thioxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane or bis(5,5-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-yl) disulfide. The symmetrical trisulfides can be obtained from aliphatic and aromatic thiols and also l-cysteine derivatives.
Key words
symmetrical trisulfides - thiols - sulfenyl bromides - l-cysteine
