MULTISTEP OXIDATIONS OF THE UNSYMMETRICAL DISULFIDE AND THIOLSULFINATES: NEW EVIDENCE FOR THE FORMATION OF THE THIONITRITE AND THE SULFINYL DERIVATIVES AS THE INTERMEDIATES

Abstract
The oxidations of unsymmetrical disulfide and thiolsulfinates with excess dinitrogen tetraoxide afforded the corresponding symmetrical thiolsulfonates as the main product. The oxidation was found to involve the formations of intermediates of the thionitrite and the sulfinyl nitrite or the sulfinyl nitrate, which are undoubtedly formed by the fission of S–S bond.
