Abstract

A green, straightforward and novel method for oxidation of thiols to the corresponding disulfides is reported using K(2)S(2)O(8) in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [(bmim)Br] at 65-70 °C. The corresponding disulfides were obtained in excellent yield and short reaction time.
