Dipotassium 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-bis(thiolate) as a new S-donor for direct synthesis of symmetrical disulfides

Sci Rep. 2022 Sep 27;12(1):16149. doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-20642-5.

Abstract

In this research, a simple, efficient and novel protocol is eveloped for the direct synthesis of symmetrical disulfides using dipotassium 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-bis(thiolate) as a new, low toxicity, inexpensive, stable solid and free of foul-smelling thiols for synthesize symmetric diaryl/dialkyl disulfides from aryl and alkyl halides in presence of MOF-199 and CuO nanoparticles. Significantly, using this method results in obtaining a variety of symmetrical disulfides in moderate to excellent yields (up to 98%).
