Thiol oxidation to disulfides is an area of great importance in organic synthesis, both for synthetic and biological purposes. Herein, we report a mild, inexpensive and green photochemical approach for the synthesis of both symmetrical and non-symmetrical disulfides, using metal-free and environmentally friendly conditions. Utilizing phenylglyoxylic acid as the photoinitiator, common household bulbs as the light source and a simple inorganic salt as the additive, a versatile oxidation of thiols leading to products in excellent yields is described.

Primary alcohols are converted into dialkyl disulfides via heating in situ generated O-alkyl S-difluoro(ethoxycarbonyl)methyl xanthates from ethyl bromodifluoroacetate and potassium xanthates, prepared from primary alcohols and carbon disulfide in the presence of KOH. The reaction mechanism is suggested as an alkyl C[1,3] shift followed by a radical mechanism. This extends to the Chugaev elimination which yields olefins. The current research provides easy access to dialkyl disulfides from commercially available primary alkanols.

Efficient, odorless and scalable synthetic protocols have been introduced for the preparation of symmetric alkyl disulfides by treatment of the corresponding organic halides with thiourea and NaHCO3in the presence of commercially available Europhtal catalyst (8020) in both H2O and poly ethylene glycol (PEG-200) media at 80–90 °C. Structurally diverse primary, secondary, allylic and benzylic halides were examined successfully whereas, the result with tert-butyl bromide was not satisfactory. Also, another procedure has been introduced for achieving symmetric aryl disulfides in high yields by reacting aryl halides, thiourea and NaHCO3in PEG-200 at 115–120 °C using CuI along with Europhtal catalysts. The results showed that the aerobic oxidation of in situ generated thiols proceeded efficiently in the presence of Europhtal catalyst giving the symmetric disulfide without contamination by symmetric sulfide side-product.
