Abstract

Under transition-metal-free conditions, trisulfide dioxides were used as disulfurating reagents to react with a wide range of amides, affording various substituted N-disulfanyl amides in good yields. Furthermore, the gram-scale experiment has confirmed the practicability of this approach.
